-- The Virgin Spring and Through a Glass Darkly: Ingmar Bergman's rape/revenge flick (oh, we know that it's much more complicated than that, we're sure) The Virgin Spring inspired Wes Craven's Last House on the Left. And Through a Glass Darkly was described by Bergman as a "chamber film" for its allusions to "both to the chamber plays of Strindberg, and to chamber music in general." They screen tonight at 7 p.m (TVS) and 5:10 p.m. and 8:50 (TAGD) at the Castro Theatre; $6-9. more ›

-- Interiors (1978): Woody Allen's tribute to Ingmar Bergman seems to have gotten lost in the fold over time (it came out between Annie Hall and Manhattan), but it really is one of his best films, ever. Not a chuckle to be found during this beautiful movie focusing on three sisters and one suicidal Martha Stewart-esque mother. Screens at 5:10 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. (with Love and Death at 7 p.m.) at the Castro Theatre; $6-9. more ›

-- The Passion of Anna and Shame : It's an Ingmar Bergman bonanza! The Castro Theatre's tribute to the famous director starts out with these two heavy gems. Anna screens at 7 p.m., Shame at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.; $6-9. more ›

So, you're saying that you want to see a movie in San Francisco this weekend, but you don't feel like braving the faux-Vegas spleador of The Metreon or the many many escalators of 1000 Van Ness? more ›
