The Magician

 


This is one of Bergman's lesser works but it is still worth watching.  I think Criterion did well by adding the movie in its collection.  It's about a magician played by Max Von Sydow who comes across as a phony at times and wondrous at others.  Bibi Andersson plays a woman who may be under the influence of a love potion.  Bibi Andersson and Ingrid Thulin (who also stars) were regulars of Bergman at this time.  I was such a strange little girl that at 12 Bibi Andersson was one of my favorite actresses. This is worth viewing.
