Bergman still has the touch

When we were thinking that Ingmar Bergman, one of the greatest directors of all time, was not going to make any other films, we see this tv masterpiece, with a great plot and great performances by the actors. While I was seeing the movie, I remembered some of his classic movies, and instantly I recognized that "Bergman" unique touch for making films. This is a movie for every Bergman fan.

awful everything

Telenovela-style shot, dementia-style farting dialogues, crappy overacting, and even the clown is just another gimmick - it would be maybe even good if it was nonsensical and absurd, but even there this movie fails.

Not known well enough

Possible surpassing even "Fanny and Alexander". Demanding - naturally - and possible rather hard to understand for non-scandinavian. But free of clichés - even bergmanäs clichés.

Cinema and theater

This is one of the last great "film" of the Swedish master, a kind of filmic testament that condenses much of the subject matter of his filmography, where we found morbid, sensationalist and imposing aspects , perhaps in search of a greater audience and commercial diffusion. We find the best Bergman writer, a staging as simple as it is effective and a cast of actors in a state of grace with interpretations that border on the sublime.

Darkly comic, and entertaining

Still full of the old Berman themes of death, the lack of God, etc.

Sometimes the symbols are a bit too heavy handed (including the titular presence of death as a clown). And the technical side of the production feels a bit limited, since the film was made for TV, and occasionally feels like a filmed play.

But that aside, as always with Bergman, the acting is terrific, and this tale of a half-mad inventor, inventing 'talking films' (by having actors stand behind the screen and speak the dialogue the characters on the screen are mouthing) is sometimes very funny, sometimes very sad, and sometimes very insightful – especially about the power of art both to redeem and obsess.

Not one of Bergman's great works, but among the best of his more minor films.

Wissenswertes
The title is taken from Shakespeare's "Macbeth", act five scene five, when Macbeth says that "life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage". "Struts and frets" can be translated with "larmar och gör sig till".
