Ingmar Bergman's The Magic Flute - new trailer | BFI

Discover Ingmar Bergman's enchanting adaptation of Mozart's The Magic Flute in cinemas and on Blu-ray this Spring.

Shooting in Swedish on a set replicating a lovely 18th-century theatre, Bergman begins his wonderfully warm, witty and sensuous movie by focusing on the faces of a rapt audience (momentarily including his own) enjoying the overture. Thereafter, as the (abridged and intriguingly amended) tale of Tamino, Pamina et al proceeds, he highlights the piece’s exuberant theatrical illusionism, at the same time deploying close-ups to enhance the emotions conveyed by an excellent young cast. An admirably light touch is applied throughout, making for a performance of musical excellence, dramatic vitality and enormous, effortless charm.

They made it look like so much was to happen on the opera, when in fact it is such a simple story.
