The Magician

Ansiktet

Ingmar Bergman, SE, 1958, 101 min., OV + CS

The conflict between rationality and the faith in a higher power is a typical element for Ingmar Bergman’s movies. In this drama, which is one of his lesser-known but not less powerful films, a group of comedians has to prove that their magical theater is not just a charlatan trick as a disbelieving town officer thinks.
