Summary |
A scintillating screen version of Mozart's beloved opera showcases Ingmar Bergman's deep knowledge of music and gift for expressing it cinematically. Casting some of Europe's finest soloists, the director lovingly recreated the baroque theater of Sweden's Drottningholm Palace to stage the story of the prince Tamino and his zestful sidekick Papageno, who are sent on a mission to save a beautiful princess from the clutches of evil. |

Special features: interview with director Ingmar Bergman; new interview with film scholar Peter Cowie; Tystnad! Tagning! Trollflöjten!, a feature-length documentary produced for Swedish television about the making of the film. |
