The Magician (1958)
Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later. I’ve finally seen a Bergman film I don’t like.
(spoilers ahead, I guess)
For most of the runtime, it was a typical Bergman film (and I mean that in a good way). But then Von Sydow’s character “died”, and the movie died along with him.
Still, up until that point, the film was solid, with great performances all around. Thus I’ll give it a generous score.
7/10
