The Magician
Ansiktet, feature film, Sweden, 1958
DIRECTED BY: Ingmar Bergman

Synopsis:
Mysterious Albert Vogler, a magician and spiritualist, and his troupe,
Vogler's Magnetic Health Theatre, arrive in a small town to make a spectacular
show. However, the prominent members of the town council – a sceptical doctor
and chief of police – ask that Vogler first performs in front of them, intending
to prove that his magic is a fraud. But Vogler and his troupe seem to be too
clever for the noble pair (of positivists) who believes only in what has been
scientifically proved…
