A hodgepodge of mysticism, true and false, with faces of all the people closest to God. It's just that the plot is too scattered, and it seems that a group of people gathered here, in fact, no one suffers from each other, jumping around, both comedy and horror. In fact, it is nothing more than conveying Bergman's eternal themes, God and communication, hypocrisy and indifference....

What a riveting movie! The first half of the nineteenth century costume drama is melodramatically engaging. Everyone lives under the cover of masks/makeup, moral masks, erotic masks, ethical masks, language masks, religious/mystical masks...the magic scene at the kitchen table and in the parlour is like a carnival. Every change of light and shadow in the film seems to tell the humbleness/nothingness of life and the mystery/nobleness that death may...

The sleep of reason produces monsters. It is generally a comedy, and sometimes even has a farce color brought about by travel, foreign land, encounters, and strangeness, but the persistence and mutual torture of rational spokespersons and illusion makers are serious. The moment Gunar Björnstrand's glasses that symbolize rationality are smashed, I just want to contribute to...

feel charming. 1. The film tells the story of the troupe led by the hypnotist Vogler, who was detained by local law enforcement officers in a small town on the way to Stockholm to verify whether the magic was real. Bergman continues the theme of the sad state of wandering artists after "The Night of the Clown", showing the irreconcilability between different classes with a deeper and broader excavation, and through symbolic characterization to allegorize the impact of art on creators and modern...

Ma Xiangxin and Roma
First time watching an Ingmar Bergman movie. I remember that when I was studying, I liked to listen to the radio to review at night. There was a hostess on the radio called Ma Xiangxin. She opened a program to talk about classic movies under the classic soundtrack of the movie. ”, she once talked...

Who doesn't love wearing masks?
First off, I'd like to say that it's not my favorite Bergman work. (No particular reason, maybe because it's too staged, too dramatic, all in all, not the "Bergman style" that I personally like).
The title of the film is literally translated as "face", which is actually the theme of the film....

Johan Spegel: I've prayed for just one thing in my life. "Use me. Make me your servant." But God never understood what a strong devoted slave I was. So I went unused. That's a lie too, by the way. One goes step by step into the darkness. The movement itself is the only truth.

Dr. Vergerus, Minister of Health: I'll tell you a secret. I've struggled all evening with an inexplicable sympathy for you and your husband.
Manda Vogler: That doesn't sound likely.
Dr. Vergerus, Minister of Health: I took an immediate liking to you. Your faces, your silence, your natural dignity. I only admit the deplorable fact because I'm tipsy.
Manda Vogler: Then leave us alone.
Dr. Vergerus, Minister of Health: I can't.
Manda Vogler: Why not?
Dr. Vergerus, Minister of Health: Because you represent what I despise most of all. The inexplicable.
