THE MAGIC FLUTE
2.12.24 (19:00) • RITCS • €4-8 • English subtitles
It is almost fifty years since Ingmar Bergman put his indelible stamp on Mozart’s Singspiel The Magic Flute, which is still a yardstick for the filming of opera. Bergman preserved the childlike depiction of the amorous vicissitudes of Tamino and Pamina and of Papagena and Papageno, while at the same time developing these characters in an inimitable way, making them psychologically recognizable people of flesh and blood. For the film, which was produced by and shown on Swedish television, he recreated in the studio the baroque Drottningholm theatre near Stockholm. Ingmar Bergman Jr, the filmmaker’s son, will introduce this film screening and also have the closing word.

PERSONA
9.12.24 (19:00) • Cinema Palace • €7-9,8 • French subtitles
A famous actress, who has suddenly stopped speaking, rests with her nurse. A strange relationship takes shape between the two women that goes so far as to call into question each woman’s identity. Formal audacity, freely expressed impulses, refusal of a classical narrative — Bergman’s Persona is an inexhaustible film of dazzling formal perfection.
