If ever there was an opera suitable for family viewing Ingmar Bergman’s film would be it. Sung in Swedish with subtitles it features backstage moments during the period production of Mozart’s opera. Fleet and joyous, Bergman's filmed staging of Mozart's The Magic Flute captures the opera's mirth and satire with Scandinavian flair.
“Fleet and joyous, Ingmar Bergman's filmed staging of Mozart's The Magic Flute captures the opera's mirth and satire with Scandinavian flair.” – Roger Ebert.
“An absolutely dazzling film entertainment, so full of beauty, intelligence, wit, and fun that it becomes a testimonial not only to man's possibilities but also to his high spirits.” – N.Y. Times.
“Bergman must have reached a new, serene assurance to have tackled this sensuous, luxuriant opera that has bewildered so many stage directors, and to have brought it off so unaffectedly. It's a whole unfussy production with the bloom still on it.” – Pauline Kael (reviewed this year in the New Yorker)
A great Holiday treat.
