Genres & Description

Comedy Drama

7.7 / 10

When 'Vogler's Magnetic Health Theater' comes to town, there's bound to be a spectacle. Reading reports of a variety of supernatural disturbances at Vogler's prior performances abroad, the leading townspeople (including the police chief and medical examiner) request that their troupe provide them a sample of their act, before allowing them public audiences. The scientific-minded disbelievers try to expose them as charlatans, but Vogler and his crew prove too clever for them.

yeah, don't worry- it's a commentary, in which he was asked to comment, not "The Magician by Peter Cowie" - @Monday, December 8, 2008 3:49 AM

While I respect Cowie as a critic, I detest this sort of heavy-handed second-by-second commentary. I wish it wan't superimposed over this great piece of film. It's irritating to hear what you are looking at described, as if the speaker thinks it's his show and his surprises. No breathing space for discovery of the magic of this Bergman moment. Could you repost it without the "explantation"? - @Tuesday, July 31, 2007 11:31 AM
