Ingmar Bergman - Ansiktet / The Face / The Magician - 1958 torrent

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051365/

A nearly silent appearance by Max von Sydow, and with an Emperor Ming beard to boot!

The story covers a group of society men placing wagers on the existence of the paranormal, and a group of circus charlatans as their victims. A lovely, if a bit slutty, performance by Bibi Andersson. And a cross-dressing Ingrid Thulin...

Try to avoid the Criterion "Seventh Seal" extras before viewing this, as it presents most of the last 15 minutes of the film - what a silly idea.


There are a couple of errors in the subtitles, but nothing too annoying. For some reason a Chinese character crops up in Gunnar Björnstrand's name, Vergerus, for what reason I have no idea - usually happens with those funny Swedish letters. I noticed a missing letter here and there.
