    At first glance, Bergman’s ‘The Serpent’s Egg’ appears to be one of those oddball underachievements destined to collect dust on the back shelf of your local 80s video store. But this one comes back to haunt you and there’s more going on here than meets the eye. This film has less to do with typical Bergman and more in common with the films of Michael Haneke, particularly puzzlers like ‘Cache’. Critics tore David Carradine’s performance to shreds as miscast and just plain ‘lost’. I disagree and think this disorientation and aimlessness actually works in his favor. This is a borderline horror film that treads into human experimentation and an impending doom saturated in hopelessness. It manages to capture a lurid and decadent backstreet Germany of the 20s. There’s an aura of suicide and despair dripping from every frame. I also noted some similarities in tone to Roman Polanski’s paranoid conspiracy films such as ‘The Tenant’ and ‘Rosemary’s Baby’. Not a night of light entertainment but plenty to keep you interested. Thank you RL!
