Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman radically altered the nature and meaning of motion picture form, transfiguring a medium long devoted spectacle into an art capable of profoundly personal meditations into the struggles facing the psyche and the soul. By focusing on the exploration of self with unparalleled intensity, Bergman fused Freudian psychotherapy with a dreamlike sensibility founded on visual metaphors, flashbacks and extreme close-ups to create a revelatory cinematic world unlike any before it.

The MagicianWhen 'Vogler's Magnetic Health Theater' comes to town, there's bound to be a spectacle. Reading reports of a variety of supernatural disturbances at Vogler's prior performances abroad, the leading townspeople (including the police chief and medical examiner) request that their troupe provide them a sample of their act, before allowing them public audiences. The scientific-minded disbelievers try to expose them as charlatans, but Vogler and his crew prove too clever for them. (Sweden, 1958, B&W, 101 min, dir. Ingmar Bergman, with Max von Sydow & Ingrid Thulin, Swedish with English subtitles) |
