Review of The Magician (1958) by A.j. S — 16 Oct 2010
Made during arguably the height of Ingmar Bergman's creative powers, with a cast consisting of his regular theater troupe, this darkly comic rumination on performance, the art of entertainment, and the dichotomy of illusion and reality (amongst other Bergman staples, e.
G. Death and Torment), has always been a middle tier standard on the Bergman "best of" retrospective, but now with a shimmering, beautiful HD transfer courtesy of Criterion, the ever faithful Bergman experts, "The Magician" has found it's wide audience.
