- Summary:
- Max von Sydow stars as Dr. Vogler, a nineteenth-century traveling mesmerist and peddler of potions whose magic is put to the test in Stockholm by the cruel, eminently rational royal medical adviser Dr. Vergérus. The result is a diabolically clever battle of wits that's both frightening and funny, shot in rich, gorgeously gothic black and white. Ingmar Bergman's THE MAGICIAN (Ansiktet) is an engaging, brilliantly conceived tale of deceit from one of cinema's premier illusionists. Winner of the Special Jury Prize and New Cinema Award for Best Film at the 1959 **Venice Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Film From Any Source at the 1960 **BAFTA** Awards
