Nattlek [Night Games] (Mai Zetterling, 1966)
Mar

International Women's Day
Jan (Jörgen Lindström) and his mother (Ingrid Thulin) share a bed while she reads him a bedtime story. DP: Rune Ericson.
When returning home to the castle he grew up in, Jan attempts to free himself from the suffocating clutches of his neurotic mother.
This film was the final straw for Shirley Temple; she resigned from the board of the San Francisco Film Festival calling Zetterling's film “pornography for profit”.
