I like this film! It is full of passion and heart -> the way storytelling should be.
The story is engaging and interesting: I like the notion of comparing now and then with the help of a hypnosis-record and the way it comments on our lack of harmony and peace in modern society.
The cinematography is *beautiful* and the framing brilliant. The montages are well put together with just the right amount of irony and the film's soundtrack is like chocolate: well composed and full of feeling.
Felice Jankell does a great job, (it is a walk in the park for her though), I could do without her nipples in many of the scenes though.
Overall Black Circle is a joyful and inspiring genre film that also gives you deeper aspects to contemplate.

BUT ITS NOT. This film is incredibly low budget . It goes nowhere interesting. It is very dull. The concept seemed alright , maybe it would be make a good book but it seems they couldn't afford to do anything with this film besides talk in different locations for the most part with really no kind of special effects .there is nothing to see here. Please don't waste your time ! And if you do please add a review of your experience to save others from seeing this awful film. 5/10 stars where it's currently at is waaayyy to high for this film, I feel it is generous to give it the two stars that I have.
It is original, impactful, close, great. I have adored her, but I do not think she can be well seen by ordinary people that the deepest thing is to see a facebook meme. For the rest, I recommend it, it is really a pleasure to see it.
Interesting at first but not towards the end. Original story, with some very nice images. A bit arty.
Edgy, Sexy and Transcendental, this is a mind bending experience, an utterly original and macabre look on the seeking for self improvement. Two sisters are trapped in a life changing and risky mystical cult after being hypnotized by a magnetic musical Record from the 70's. As they experience success and go on alternative styles, soon their ability will charge an irreversible price. Psychedelic, enigmatic and incredibly performed, it's a haunting look at ambition, greed and women's determination.

- TriviaIn a 2018 interview with Filmtopp, Adrian Garcia Bogliano spoke about a specific casting choice and where the movie ended up being shot: "I wanted to bring back Christina Lindberg to the screen. I'm a big fan of revenge films and many years ago I saw Crime à froid (1973) and was blown away! Out of all the other films in the genre, that one impressed me the most. After that, I watched pretty much everything she has starred in. I love her strange and unique presence. I talked to Rickard Gramfors, her manager and the producer of Svart Cirkel (Black Circle), about making a movie in the United States. We were trying to develop the project for a couple of years but it didn't happen, so we decided to film something in Sweden instead."
