An enigmatic and spectral conjuror (Max von Sydow) and his variegated family and entourage–including other classic Bergman players like Ingrid Thulin, the wife dressed as a man–arrive in a skeptical town. This event sets the stage for rationalist examinations and humorous encounters as well as more typical Bergmanesque investigations of masks, reason and God evoked by the Swedish title of the film, The Face. Less the intense argument of The Seventh Seal than a conversation among lively friends, this engaging and accessible.
