Presented in partnership with the American Cinematheque, ‘Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair’ is an annual film festival showcasing some of the greatest works of cinema from across the globe that venture into the darkest sides of humanity and the bleakest points in human history.
The fifth annual edition in June 2026 expands to nearly 100 theaters across the U.S., Canada,U.K. and South and Central America, with each venue presenting its own original curated lineup of uncompromising films defined by unpleasant truths and raw empathy. The Park Theatre is delighted and honoured to take part in this monumental series, and sought selections from local filmmakers and friends of the venue to curate the series.
HOUR OF THE WOLF Selected by local filmmaker Osgood Perkins (LONGLEGS, THE MONKEY, THE KEEPER)
HOUR OF THE WOLF ("Vargtimmen") is Ingmar Bergman's spin on the demons that plague his fellow creative artists. The strangest and most disturbing of the films Bergman shot on the island of Fårö, the film stars Max von Sydow as a painter who, while spending a summer in voluntary exile with his pregnant wife (Liv Ullmann), is visited by bizarre and disturbing visions. When the couple are invited to a nearby castle for dinner, things start to go wrong with a vengeance, as a coven of sinister aristocrats hastens the artist’s psychological deterioration.
This is a film that has something to say about the dangers of artists becoming too self-centered and self-involved. HOUR OF THE WOLF is a gripping film is charged with a nightmarish power rare in the Bergman canon, and contains dreamlike effects that brilliantly underscore the tale’s more horrific elements.
"'Hour of the Wolf' works magnificently." (Roger Ebert)
"A must for fans of horror and of Bergman. So good it makes you wish he had dabbled in the genre that bit more often." (Empire Magazine)
"It is unthinkable for anyone seriously interested in movies not to see it." (The New York Times)
