Godfather Café is set to have a single screening of “Shame” a film by Swedish director, writer and producer Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007) on May 20.
In 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, Bergman made this angry and bleak film that was against all wars and argued that it simply does not matter which side you are on.
In Shame (Swedish: Skammen) former musicians Jan Rosenberg and his wife, Eva, have left the city to avoid a civil war and live on a rural island where they tend a farm.
While the situation seems idyllic, the couple’s isolation begins to wear on their relationship, and eventually the armed conflict that they had tried to flee from arrives on their quiet island. Jan and Eva ultimately cannot evade either the war or their own marital problems.
Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand and Sigge Fürst are in the cast, Tiwall.com wrote.
The café is located at No. 876, Enqelab Street, intersection of Enqelab and Hafez streets.
