Description

THE MAGIC FLUTE Trollflojten

Ingmar Bergman's 1975 film version of Mozart's opera Die Zauberflöte. Intended as a television production and first shown on Swedish television 1975, but was followed by a cinema release later that year. Widely viewed as one of the most successful films of an opera ever, and an unusual item in the director's oeuvre.

This scintillating screen version of Mozart’s beloved opera showed Bergman’s deep knowledge of music and his gift for expressing it in filmic terms. Casting some of Europe’s finest soloists—among them Josef Köstlinger, Ulrik Cold, and Håkan Hagegård—the director lovingly recreated the baroque theater of the Drottningholm Palace in Stockholm to stage the story of the prince Tamino (Köstlinger) and his zestful sidekick Papageno (Hagegård), who seek to save a princess (Irma Urrila) from the clutches of evil. A celebration of love, forgiveness, and the brotherhood of man, Flute is considered by many to be the most exquisite opera film ever made. (Sweden, 1975, 135 min., G, .Swedish with English subtitles| Dir. Ingmar Bergman) 

Ingmar Bergman (1918–2007) stands as one of the giants of world cinema and perhaps the father of the flowering of art house movement in America during the 1960s and ’70s.
