Sawdust and Tinsel
Movie Information
In Brief: This early Ingmar Bergman film is, as the title suggests, a circus story, but it's every inch a Bergman circus story, which is to say it's hardly a jolly time under the big top. Instead, Sawdust and Tinsel is a drama about sex, betrayal and humiliation. Although Bergman had been directing since 1946, this was the first of his films that pleased him — something that didn't keep it from being critically disparaged and a box-office failure in 1953. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke published on Aug. 6, 2013.
