Description
Cast: Max von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand, Ingrid Thulin
In one of his greatest roles for Bergman, von Sydow is Dr. Vogler, a traveling magician and snake-oil salesman who, in nineteenth-century Stockholm, is challenged by a cruel member of the royal cabinet. Gunnar Fischer’s stunning black and white camerawork is one of this underrated Bergman’s effort’s many virtues.
