Full Plot Details

While traveling in caravan through the country of Sweden, one member of the decadent Alberti Circus tells the owner and ringmaster Albert Johansson a sad story about the clown Frost: seven years ago, his wife Alma was surprised by him bathing naked in a lake with a regiment. When the circus arrives in the town where Albert's wife Agda and sons live, he decides to pay a visit with his young mistress Anne to a famous local troupe to borrow some capes, hats and vests for their tonight show. They are humiliated by the director Mr. Sjuberg, but he lends the pieces, and the lead actor Frans gives an unsuccessful pass on Anne. When Albert decides to visit Agda, the jealous Anne meets Frans, who seduces her with an apparently valuable necklace, and they have a love affair. Anne finds that the necklace is actually worthless and returns to the circus. Meanwhile, Agda refuses to accept Albert back and he sees Anne leaving the theater and going to the jewelry. During the exhibition, Albert and Anne are submitted to humiliations by Frans.

Movie Reviews

Antagony & Ecstasy - 9/10 by Tim BraytonNot just a showcase for motifs that Bergman would use to create masterpieces later; it's a great film all by itself.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt has great performances and is a visual treat, but its masochistic storyline might not be for all tastes.
Time Out - 8/10 by Derek AdamsVsually it is a treat, with Bergman's richly baroque compositions and persistent use of deep focus brilliantly exploiting the circus and theatre settings. And the performances are first-rate.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Fernando F. CrocePain and degradation follow, inevitably before the eyes of a derisive crowd.
User Review - 10/10 by James PThis is a Real Grenade Impressive Silent Movie like Scenes with bombastic Orchestral Music, Excellent Dialgoes and the Story is fantastic too it shows the Circus People as Outsiders of Society disdained by the Citizens allthoug they Good People the Citizens are Arrogant and Mean allthough they should have a Lucky Life but the never live like the Circus People who live a more natural Life but also must suffer of the Pains the Citizens harm them for them they just the Laughingstock the Circus People are representative for all Outsiders to which they were made by the Society i defently like more the Homeless who live on the Streets of San Francisco that's sensitive and cultivated People who had Back Luck or Life turned bad for them but they are True Humans who don't look from above to each other then the High Society of Beverly Hills who bath in their own Self-Desire and laugh about the People who don't had muck Luck then them but in Fact they are Soulless Victims and Slaves of their Property without it they are nothing it's defently one ofr my favourite Movies Bergman was a God and he is the European Counterpart to Akira Kurosawa
User Review - 10/10 by Michael RI couldn't have picked a better film for my life at the present moment. Bergmans 1st masterpiece in my opinion. Near perfect.
User Review - 10/10 by Carlos OYou gotta love pre-seventies Euro-films. I'm in love with this movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Andrew RLesser known but no less brilliant Bergman. Probably his first film featuring all the obsessions his later masterpieces would feature.
User Review - 10/10 by Mitchell CMuch unrated classic, one of Bergman's best films from his earlier period. Like most Bergman films, looks and feels beautiful, sad and intense, Words like poetry, images like paintings. Excellent
User Review - 10/10 by Bryon Sanother film that shows Bergman was well ahead of his time.
