Thirst (1949)
Törst
aka Three Strange Loves · La sed · Dorst
A fractured portrait of desire and isolation, following a failing marriage and parallel stories of emotional entrapment as memories surface during a train journey through postwar Europe. Told through flashbacks and multiple narrative threads, the film signals Ingmar Bergman’s emerging mature style.
🏳️🌈 Ingmar Bergman's intense early drama (originally Törst) explicitly incorporates a historic, prominent sáfic layer, tracking a woman who faces an intense, sudden lesbian pass and romantic pass from an old school friend, Viola.
