Ingmar Bergman has never before made a movie so warm, happy and innocent... It's as if all this joy has been building up inside him during the great decade of metaphysical films beginning with Persona. July 9, 2018 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Ingmar Bergman's version of Mozart's The Magic Flute isn't his most cinematic work - it's a film version of an opera and was originally shown on Swedish TV. Nonetheless, there are elements here which echo his other films. March 14, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Using the opera's timeless whimsy and inventiveness, the movie replicates a performance on the stage that is so good that it almost makes you forget the participants' ABBA-like hairstyles. December 7, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

An absolutely dazzling film entertainment, so full of beauty, intelligence, wit, and fun that it becomes a testimonial not only to man's possibilities but also to his high spirits. May 20, 2003 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

The film doesn't offer much. It's a true version, with some glimmers of irony and good humor, always in between cinema and theater. [Full Review in Spanish] July 17, 2019 | Full Review…
