This deeply startling work is a thinking man's horror film and a symbolic self-portrait by one of the cinema's great directors. Max Von Sydow, doubting knight of The Seventh Seal, here leads Bergman's brilliant attack on modern rationality and cynicism. Hypnotist and magician Dr. Vogler heads a troupe of travelling players, which includes his wife Manda (Ingrid Thulin) dressed as a male assistant. They are examined and humiliated by Dr. Vergerus (Gunnar Bjornstrand), a cynical medical officer. During a performance convened for the medical officer and his committee, Volger exerts his revenge. When the tables are turned again, the magician perpetrates an incredible illusion on the unbelieving doctor, but is now trapped within his own mystery. 5 STARS OUT OF 5 The Magician Ingmar Bergman Buy UK Dvd (This Site) (Shipped from UK) Single Disc [2001] Director: Ingmar Bergman Actors: Max Von Sydow, Ingrid Thulin, Bibi Andersson, Axel Duberg, Lars Ekborg Format: Black & White, PAL Language: Swedish Region: All Regions Number of discs: 1 Classification: PG Studio: Tartan Video DVD Release Date: 24 Sep 2001 Run Time: 100 minutes DVD Features: Main Language: Swedish Available Audio Tracks: Dolby Digital Sub Titles: English Disc Format: DVD 5 Star And Director Filmographies Scene Selection Film Notes The Bergman Collection Trailer Price: £17.99 (UK Sterling) / $ 37.99 (US Dollars) (Shipped from UK) (Price includes worldwide postage & packaging) Also available: amazon.co.uk | amazon.com Movie Review Ingmar Bergman ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth ingmar bergman dvds ingmar bergman videos ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth Page created by: lenin@netcomuk.co.uk Changes last made: 2007
