one of the biggest wins of this drama was the execution of the narrative and how it didn’t try to influence the audience in any which way . i continually struggled with my feelings as none of the characters were black or white but each had shades of grey and depth which gave them a unique personality . initially , sana came across as a negative character but after her divorce , i empathized with her since she proved to be an excellent and selfless mother who fought tooth and nail to provide the best for her son . she stayed single for the sake of her only son and didn’t once falter . daniyal seemed sincere initially but i didn’t approve of his decision to take a second wife – he was selfish and paid the price by being separated from his son . huma was the proverbial mazloom aurat but she persevered through many a storms . i felt she married daniyal for her own selfish reasons but given her situation , i could see why she did what she did . i also liked the contrast between sana’s mother and huma’s mother . sana’s mother filled her head with negativity against daniyal which influenced her relationship and huma’s mother was a pillar of support which is why huma managed to stay married all those years and had the strength to accept daniyal’s proposal . overall , dooriyan was brilliantly scripted , sharply directed and flawlessly acted which made it a very good watch . i’m not sure how it fared since it didn’t air on one of the big three channels but i look forward to tuning in to hum sitaray and hope they will continue providing us with quality entertainment .
star cast : deepshikha nagpal , kaishav arora , inder kumar , chitrasi rawat , delnaz paul .
what’s bad : the poorly - written screenplay ; the insipid and boring drama ; the average performances .
simi nagpal ( deepshikha nagpal ) is a 35 - year - old divorcee who lives with her two kids , a girl ( baby vidhika ) and a boy ( master vivaan ) . while she is successful in her choreography career and has a happy family life otherwise , simi secretly yearns for the company of a man who will accept and love her and her children . her parents and friends also insist that she should find a suitable mate and get married once again .
while on a holiday with nikki ( chitrasi rawat ) and bobby ( delnaz paul ) , two of her employees from her dancing academy , simi meets raj ( kaishav arora ) , a young model . raj , who is apparently smitten by simi , follows her back to the city and joins her dancing academy . bit by bit , raj wins over simi’s confidence by developing a bond with her kids . soon , simi and raj’s friendship turns into love . simi even takes raj to meet her parents and friends . after raj assures her that he is serious about the relationship , they both start sleeping together .
on one such morning , when simi is at raj’s place , raj’s mother ( kunika lal ) arrives unannounced . she insults simi and asks raj not to continue his relationship with simi , as it was against societal norms . slowly , raj relents and stops seeing simi . on the other hand , simi’s ex - husband , aditya ( inder kumar ) , shows up and wants her back . what happens next ? where does raj go ? who does simi decide to be with – raj or aditya ? what about her kids ? the rest of the film answers these questions .
deepshikha’s story is well - intentioned as it tries to depict the issue of divorced women’s remarriage . however , her screenplay , which is rather poorly - written , pulls the film down . right from the word ‘go’ , the audience is bombarded with clichéd scenes and interactions between the characters that lead to nothing . the relationships between the characters , whether they are amicable or hateful , don’t ring true at all . for example , simi loves her kids dearly but she goes for parties and on holidays with friends , leaving the kids behind . the climax is very disappointing . the dialogues , penned by deepshikha , are terribly childish .
deepshikha nagpal’s performance is okay . she looks the age of the character and acts ably but the insipid drama negates it all . kaishav arora doesn’t have the looks of a hero , in spite of his muscled body , which he flaunts a lot . also , he needs serious lessons in acting . he is expressionless . inder kumar overacts . chitrasi rawat and delnaz paul do average jobs in their small roles . baby vidhika , master vivaan , kunika lal , achint kaur , rajesh khera , shishir sharma and manini dey fill the bill . ayub khan is wasted in a cameo appearance which does not make much sense .

” what if i will tell dp uncle n ap aunty what u hv said swati about controlling sanskar n . . over that what u hv done with ur son’s widow . . i don’t think that after that they will continue this relation “shlok said firmly
” u r blackmailing me . . but it will affect ur sister’s life” parvati said
“i don’t care . . cz i know what u hv taught her will destroy her marital life in the long run… so itz better to hurt her now . . decision is urs”he said n left parvati fuming with anger
” but sir today everyone is at home . . so why don’t you ask laksh sir . . let me call him”saying this she turns towards the door
“aree yaar . . tumhe koi bhaagne ki beemari hai . . kya” he said n held her hand
“m removing my finger . . don’t utter any word just help me in wearing tie . . okay ? ” he said she simply nods yes . . and help him in wearing tie
” thanku so much ” saying this he went to balcony and was about to cross the railing when swara shouts” sir what are u doing… please sir don’t suicide . . n if u want to commit suicide then why u ask me to help u in wearing tie . . u can commit suicide without tie too ” she sighs
he came back n said” u know swara . . my family members will never let me go today . . they want me to attend that puja . . but i don’t believe in god” he explains
“huh ? ? u don’t believe in god but why . . u know he helps u everytime… he will help you whenever you ask ” swara said with a smile
” really ! ! ? ? well i disagree . . n why u believe in him . . ur life is full of struggle . . if he is with u . . as u said . . he should lessen the struggle . . but no . . he does not… well he never fulfill my wishes… so what’s need of believing him ” he said
” sir he is god . . not a santa claus who will fulfill ur demands… n yes my life is full of struggle but he knows what is best for me . . thus i hv no problem… u too should trust him . . “she said n left
swara was about go when dadi stops her” eerr no . . u stay here . . swati beta u go n bring prasad… i don’t want this girl to touch prasad ”
everyone was sitting in hall when someone enters mm a girl wearing jeans n top with a bag says “i hv came . . did anyone missed me”
everyone was happy seeing her except parvati… swati ran n hugs her “bhabhi i missed you sooooo much . . itz best surprise for me”
soon trisha n shlok left to meet sumi without telling anyone . . sanskar too left for some work
@ car “thank god trisha u hv came… dadi has completely brainwashed swati . . she has availed the opportunity very well . . when we both were not here ” he said
* * shlok has studied abroad for 3 years n got married to trisha there both lived there for 5 years n during those ( 3 + 5 ) 8 years dadi has moulded swati according to her . . when shlok met sumi in kolkata only that day he came back afters years * *
” shlok don’t worry . . i will talk to her . . when trisha is here no fear “she giggles
” accha u know . . i hvnt tell chachi that m married . . it would be a surprise for her “shlok said . .
” m so excited to meet chachi . . tumhare muh se itti tareef jo suni hai “swati said
sumi was happy meeting trisha n shlok… the trio gets involved in talks forgetting about time .
here swara was waiting for bus to go back . . when sanskar saw her… he stops his car n orders her”swara come in”
“don’t get scare… m here nothing will happen . . come with me . . n don’t turn . . okay”he said
“no way . . i will drop you at ur place . . i can’t risk your safety . . and wait ( shouts ) why u can’t be aware of your surroundings haan… those goons were just behind you… what if something happens to u . . ” he shouts
” chachi i think u should tell swara about us . . n about shonali ” shlok said
” but chachi she should know about her family and her mother . . okay if not about us . . u can tell her about shonali “trisha said
” shlok sir . . trisha mam . . what are u both doing here . . n ma why r they calling u chachi . . n who is shonali ? “swara fire questions
swara got shocked listening to truth . . n she just ran away from her home… ” swara wait . . where are you going” sumi said
but swara ignores her n ran . . shlok follows her but can’t find her . .
“trisha what r u doing at swara’s home . . n why aunty is crying “sanskar has too many questions
by the time shlok reached n didn’t notice sanskar n said “chachi . . swara has gone . . but don’t worry i will find her . . ”
” leave all n tell me . . what happened to swara . . i hv just dropped her . . n i came here to return her phone . . but where is she . . hua kya ” sanskar panics
sanskar goes near sumi n said” aunty . . jab tak mai zinda hoon . . nothing will happen to swara ”
sanskar was driving n round of thoughts were going through his mind… he has become mad as if someone has stolen his precious gem from him . .
“what if someone has kidnapped her… this girl is too much . . who ran from home at 10 in night” he jerked this thought than another occupied the place “what if she met any accident . . she stays lost in herself . . never cares about her surrounding . . oh man where i should find her”
” what the hell laksh . . here swara is missing n u wants me to come . . m not coming until i found her . . got this . . ”
“it… it . . means… i - i… l . o . v . e… her … laksh u were right . . i love her… n now i hv to find my love at any cost… i won’t let anything happen to u swara… m coming . . ur sanskar is coming ”

recap : swasan marriage date fixed . 3 weeks leap . swasan left for shopping
everyone’s face become pale listening to her . mouli dassgupta is ap’s friend but they didn’t tell her about swara n all .
“umm vo masi ma u come n take rest . u must be tired”ragini tried to divert
“badmash ! stop calling me your girlfriend . you are married now “she . said
“sanskar me n swara are alone at home she has fainted here . . bhai n bhabhi are not lifting my calls . . i tried alot to wake her bt she is not opening her eyes . i don’t know what to do”swati cried
“what ! ! don’t worry m coming . you just take care” he said n cuts
“ya doc . i myself take care of her medicines . anything serious ? ” he ask in tension
“um . no but if she again faints or headache or anything immediately take her to me don’t delay . okay ? ” doc said seriously
as soon as swara gain her senses sanskar blasts on her . whereas everyone choose to stay back

“m warning u never ever try to do this . . tmrw is cocktail party after that u can come here” he said angrily
swara can see his fear , his concern , his love for her . she quietly went with him .
sanskar bring swara in angrily , n swara was having an innocent , puppy face .
sanskar took a deep breath and spoke “she is my would be wife masi ma . . i didn’t marry swati” hesaid
mouli looked him in shock . then she gaze swara n check her out from top to bottom . . she gets nervous and hide herself behind sanskar’s back .
“hmm . . poor middle class girl . i can’t understand sab gareeb ladkian ammero ko kyu phasati hai . . jo hai usme khush nhi rah sakti kya ? did you feel happy by destroying swati’s life ? ofcouse u will . . afterall now u will get luxurious life” she said rudely
maheshwari’s knows the reason behind her rude behavior but for swara this was more than enough . she was crying . . she tried to go but sanskar didn’t leave her hand . . she signals him to leave bt he denied
“ya that’s why she trap u . . she just needs money . . nothing else . it is the sole mentality of these poor people”mouli said
“n who gave u right to taunt my daughter” sumi shouts angrily from door . .
mouli’s back was visible to sumi . . n as soon as mouli turned , both got shocked .
before mouli could say further . . sumi interrupts “sanskar . . beta u take shona in . . she must be tired . . ”
“hmm . . actually . . vo . . i - i told you about shona’s ma na . . so her mother elope with mouli ‘s hubby”sumi said
“mouli itz enough ! swara is my daughter ! that lady has to done nothing with swara… she is my daughter . . she has my upbringing . . so please don’t point her” sumi said
“ha mouli swara is very nice girl”ap said n explains everything to her . .
sanskar ignore her n left . . she felt bad . . soon he came back with a bowl of soup . he sat besides her . . n as soon as she open her mouth to say something he put spoon full of soup in her mouth . she quite finished that with ‘yukk’ expression . . he then make her eat medicines n was about to go when she spoke
she nods yes . . then no . . then yes . . then again no . sanskar held her head with his hands “itta sar mat hilao toot jyega”
the very next moment ragini enters the room n closed her eyes”guyz if u wanna romance be careful . ma ne dekh lia to dant pdegi . . here is ur dresses for party . . n don’t worry i haven’t seen anything”she teases them n ran . leaving swasan embarrassed
swara got ready in the gown designed by ragini . . red gown with hop neck . . sanskar got ready in black formals n both were looking osm ?
“coming mam ! ” she said while wearing earing . . she took the other earing n starts to move while wearing it
she came in hall n was still struggling to wear that . she stopped to wear that . . n just above her head two lightmen were adjusting lights . . sanskar saw that while descending stairs . . the whole scenario of his n swati’s mehndi go through his eyes he shouts”swwaraaa” . everyone got shocked with this n turns to him . . even swara was confused . .
“who allowed u to come here . . i don’t want any lights . . get out . . ! ! ” he shouts at those lightmen . .
“sir please calm down . . m fine kuch ni hua mujhe” she said .
“i don’t want to take any risk . . i nearly lost u . . ”he said with tears
his love for swara was clearly visible in his eyes . . swara consoles him n guests arrived n party started
sanskar introduces swara with everyone . . some were happy . . some were not .
“come swara lemme introduce u to mrs . banerjee”he said n took swara towards a lady
sumi saw that lady n here face become pale… she immediately ran towards them to stop .
“beta vo . . that . that lady is . . kaveri . . swara ‘s real mother . . ”sumi said
then sumi explains that mr banerjee ( mouli ‘s hubby ) divorced mouli . just to marry kaveri . . n there was a clause in the pprs that mouli will never tell anyone her ex hubby’s name . . that’s why neither ap nor anyone else knows about this . . annapurna has already told him what has happened when sumi n mouli met yesterday . .

the person step out of car n swara starts to move back . . she wants to scream but couldn’t . . his face was covered with a mask and had a knife in hand
and hugged him tightly . . ” sshhh don’t cry m here na . . kuch nhi hua . . ”
after a while she was sound… he shouts” are u crazy who told u to go home alone at this point of time . . u know itz not safe ”
” sir a night matters alot . . my mum is not at home… u don’t know our society they will not take even a minute to bad mouth about my character “she said calmly
sanskar too found her talks sensible and agreed to drops her at home . .
servant went in n inform an old lady about sumi’s arrival ” tell her that i don’t want to meet her ” that old lady said . .
itz noon n still no one has came to sumi n she is sitting at door… then a car stopped infront of her… a tall man of 27 stepped out of the car… and removes his shades and looked at sumi . . he touched her feet… with his sudden action sumi got shocked
“golu . . u r my golu . . u hv grown up smartly “sumi’s eyes welled with tears and she hugged him

“are are wait… what happened bhai… y r u so tensed… hoga koi kaam use . . don’t worry she will come tmrw “laksh said casually
” no lucky u r not getting me . . vo ” he explains about that incident
the door was locked from inside . . sanskar somehow manages to enter in her room from back window… then he open the gate n ragini too went in…
” no no ragini . . she will be here only door was locked from in” sanskar said
with the shock the door of cupboard opened n both got shocked to see swara there . .
” sanskar we should take her with us . . we can’t leave her here “ragini said

i don’t think it’s possible to overstate the influence of ingmar bergman’s magic flute on just about every flute incarnation that’s appeared since . it’s arguably the most famous screen version of an opera ever made , though of course it has stiff competition from rosi’s carmen and zeffirelli’s traviata . when i overview the various non - stage adaptations of flute that i know of ( film , ballet , novel , comic book , etc . ) , they all seem to be based just as much on the bergman film as on the original libretto .
letting his hair down never came easily . in his only operatic film , a 1975 version of mozart’s magic flute staged in a studio mock - up of stockholm’s drottningholm palace , the true theme ( music’s power to soothe the soul ) was subordinated to a dramatically irrelevant survey of the war between the sexes , with sarastro and the queen of the night as “old flames” , bickering over their love - child , pamina — something mozart and his librettist , schikaneder , scarcely envisaged .

bergman has given life to the magic flute at the same time as presenting a theatre performance , yet since he is so at one with the theatre , the atmosphere is not broken but intensified . [ . . . ]
ingmar bergman ' s version of mozart ' s the magic flute isn ' t his most cinematic work - it ' s a film version of an opera and was originally shown on swedish tv . nonetheless , there are elements here which echo his other films .
in this film , mozart ' s opera the magic flute is brought to the screen . sung in swedish , the libretto remains as ever : a gentle parody of the initiation ceremonies of the masons , offered as an other - worldly fantasy involving a kidnapped princess , a vengeful queen of the night , and a carefree wanderer .
s john boorman once said , the making of a film turns money into light .
the greatest trick ingmar bergman pulls off is starting this off as an obviously stage bound opera and then slowly using all of his filmic gifts to turn
the magic flute
into pure cinema without the audience ever noticing .
the goethe institute and lieder alive ! were delighted to screen ingmar bergman’s famous 1975 film adaptation of mozart’s the magic flute as part of the goethe lnstitut film and exhibition series . hailed by many as the ‘finest screen version of an opera ever produced , ’ ingmar bergman puts his indelible stamp on mozart’s exquisite opera in this sublime rendering of one of the composer ' s best - loved works : a celebration of love , forgiveness , and the brotherhood of man . swedish baritone håkan hagegård , who was catapulted to world renown playing papageno in this bergman film , was present for an onstage interview with ruth felt , founder and president of san francisco performances , prior to the screening .
the queen of the night offers her daughter pamina to tamino , but he has to bring her back from her father and priest sarastro . she gives a magic flute to tamino and magic bells to the bird hunter papageno , who follows tamino and wants to find a wife . the duo travels in a journey of love and knowledge .
the magic flute became my companion through life . [ . . . ] sometime later i went to the malmö city theater . on the main stage , at least two operas were produced each season , and i voted ardently for us to stage the magic flute . i was eager to direct it myself . that could probably hava happened , had the therater not contracted with a german opera director of the old school for a whole year . he was around sixty years old and had directed during his legthy career most operas in existence . it was natural that he direct the magic flute , a monumental mastodon of a performance with heavy sets . for me , the disappointment was twofold .
hello ! yes , you ' re right about bergman ' s great version , which was a made - for - television film . what we should have said was the branagh ' s
magic flute
is the first time a film version of the opera was made specifically for the big screen . we ' ll re - word our blog post to reflect this - - thanks so much for the feedback !
future learning and skills – giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .
kenneth branagh ' s movie of the magic flute will outrage mozart purists by recasting the opera as an extravagant spiritual adventure set against a backdrop of the first world war . peter conrad , the first journalist on the set , reports on myth , mortar fire and coloratura
' s music that has been referenced in film and tv over the years . several movies , for example , have featured plot lines involving magical flutes - - like the 1976 animated film
the magic flute : arguably mozart ' s most famous opera , and a wondrous explosion of sound and feeling . who better to bring it to the screen than the filmmaker who understands human emotion and psychology better than any other : ingmar bergman .
without attempting to replicate exactly the theatre style of the day , bergman has brought the 18th century to life so effectively that it becomes the present , and the opera relevant to our own lives . with the magic flute he gives us a glimpse of eternal human concerns and emotional richness .
bergman’s decision to abandon film - making was taken after completing fanny and alexander .
the film , with a soundtrack performed by the chamber orchestra of europe conducted by james conlon , is the first motion picture version of the opera specifically intended for cinemas . ingmar bergman ' s 1975 film version was made for swedish television and only later released to theatres . branagh ' s version was shot in super 35 and released in anamorphic widescreen , while bergman ' s was filmed in academy ratio for television sets of the 1970s .
cameron dokey , sunlight and shadow , ( part of the once upon a time series ) , 2004 , a retelling of the magic flute for teen readers ; dokey ' s novel also states that sarastro is pamina ' s father .
papageno appears with pamina , following the distant sound of tamino ' s flute . the two are suddenly captured by monostatos and his slaves . papageno then works an enchantment on the slaves using his magic bells , and they dance , mesmerised by the music of the bells , off the stage .
my enjoyment of the magic flute was much enhanced by watching ingmar bergman’s marvellous film adaptation . made for swedish television in 1975 and filmed as though in a theatre , the whole performance is imbued bergman ' s delight in all aspects of mozart’s opera . as the overture plays the camera focuses on the reactions of different audience members . some are thoughtful , some smiling and others in tears – perfectly in keeping with the music’s nervous energy , oscillating between sadness and joy . we keep returning to one cherubic girl , whose features resemble that of the child mozart : she becomes an emblem of our inner child .
played the toronto international film festival , but there’s no u . s . edition of the dvd yet . you
bergman clearly felt an uncontrollable lust for each mode of expression and also tried his hand at composing a number of times . one of his hero ' s was mozart and a longstanding passion project of his was to stage a rendition of mozart ' s most famous opera the magic flute . bergman attacked this project with a gusto and enthusiasm that i have not seen in any of his movies . his joy and desire at finally given the chance to film a dream project for swedish tv shines through all of bergman ' s edition of the magic flute .
his
magic flute
is directed with a cheerful relish for its fairy - tale adventures , its young lovers and sinister sorcerers and improbable special effects . to film it , he decided to stay in the period , to approach the work head on and in its own spirit as a sort of spooky , funny bedtime story .
theatre and film offered an escape from a home life where personal feelings were suppressed .
in mozart , there’s often this sense that the rules are for everyone else . in the composer’s most popular opera , the music seems to go where it wants when it wants , laws of man and nature be damned . it’s not for nothing that it’s called the magic flute .

one of history’s great composers meets one of history’s great directors as ingmar bergman presents wolfgang amadeus mozart’s the magic flute , where brave tamino ( josef köstlinger ) and foolhardy papageno ( håken hagegård ) face three divine trials for love armed with their magical musical instruments . colourful and taken from a comical opera , this is some steps away from the monochromatic and joyless world that bergman is unfairly labelled with and provides a thorough and definitive take on the magic flute , albeit in bergman’s swedish rather than the native german .
sorry , but i must take issue with the statement
in 2006 , kenneth branagh brought the magic flute to movie theater screens for the first time
i remember very well my first introduction to this opera , bergman ' s
trollflöjten
. ( see : urltoken
this film is the only time in animation that johan appears with dotted eyes , which is based on his comic book appearance . the hanna - barbara cartoon series released several years after the film depicted him with larger eyes .
due to the liberties it takes with the score and text , i wouldn’t call trollflöjten an ideal introduction to the magic flute , but it’s definitely a must - see for lovers of mozart’s final masterpiece . its creativity , richly varying atmosphere , and perfect combination of fairy - tale charm and genuine depth make it worthy of its status as possibly the world’s most revered opera film .
marion zimmer bradley , night ' s daughter , a novel based on the magic flute , 1985 . it sets the story in an atlantis - like world with human - animal hybrid creatures . bradley enthusiastically agrees with bergman that sarastro is pamina ' s father .
the sense of place is as pervasive as a character in “moss , ” a film by daniel peddle .
shown at the toronto and venice film festivals four months later , branagh ' s
flute
was not disliked , but it failed to generate much enthusiasm . since then the film has had limited release in parts of europe , asia and south america and has been moderately well received . french and british dvd versions have been released . but the film has never been shown in the united states , and there is no word about a domestic dvd .
the concerns , as in the previous cases , turned out to be unfounded . through sales to several foreign tv networks , tv2 made a tidy profit from the magic flute – a couple of million . also internationally , the film garnered acclaim . and as recently as during the 250th anniversary of mozart ' s birth in 2006 , bergman ' s interpretation was one the most frequently named and requested ' mozart works ' .
mozart ' s magic flute is one of the world ' s best loved operas . the first ever performance took place on 30 september 1791 at the theater auf der wieden in vienna , where librettist emanuel schikaneder was the theatre manager . the first performance in sweden took place on 30 march 1812 at the royal opera in stockholm .
the star , though , is the animation . the magic flute can withstand great manipulation and still come through with its spirit intact . this one does that much , and often much more . if it’s the mozart you come for , though , put on a recording , and just sit still . the music does the rest .
it might just be because i don ' t like musicals but this film just doesn ' t do anything for me . bergman was very fond of this film but i am not .
, directing a new version of mozart ' s opera the magic flute , has just begun turning money - exactly £15 . 4m of it , supplied by the peter moores foundation - into both light and sound . during a dank winter , the draughty hangars at shepperton studios resounded with the music of spheres : the high - pitched hysteria of a soprano and the patriarchal rumbling of a bass , the consoling lilt of the flute and the inane tinkling of the glockenspiel . heaven had bumped down to earth on the ragged outskirts of london .
because the film has not played in los angeles yet , it still has not qualified for any academy awards .
this hungarian film is a careful , compassionate and beautifully acted character drama with a social conscience .
the movies enjoyed by my father , ingmar bergman , every day at three o’clock in his private cinema on the island of fårö were often old black - and - white classics , well - remembered ones as well as forgotten ones . stepping through the rust - coloured door of the barn – leaving the blinding fårö light for the embracing gloom of the cinema – is a special experience . at first , the darkness seems compact . you grope your way to your seat , sit down and let your eyes adjust to the sparse light . now the huge tapestry depicting the magic flute on fårö slowly emerges . one august evening in 1974 , beneath a full moon , ingmar’s opera film the magic flute had its very first screening in the old barn , whose transformation into a cinema had just been completed .
every director has problems with the symbolism at the end of
the magic flute ,
especially with making the trials by water and fire feel meaningful . branagh offers nice touches . the couple are caught in a battlefield and flood . but opera is opera , and branagh knows better than to artificially tie up all loose ends .
any novices expecting a witty romantic comedy in the vein of the mozart - da ponte collaborations like le nozze di figaro or cosi fan tutte will be surprised . the plot of the magic flute is more akin to a fairy tale : a noble prince is ordered by the mysterious queen of the night to rescue a beautiful princess who has been kidnapped .
revolver entertainment is giving the film a theatrical release in the united states in june 2013 , seven years after its premiere in europe .
there is another line that merges with my love for the magic flute . as a boy i loved roam around . one october day i set out fot drottningholm ( in stockholm ) to see its unique court theater from the eighteenth century . for some reason the stage door was unlocked . i walked inside and saw for the first time the carefully restored baroque theater . i remember distinctly what a bewitching experience it was : the effect of chiaroscuro , the silence , the stage . in my imagination i have always seen the magic flute living inside that old theater , in that keenly acoustical wooden box , with its slanted stage floor , its backdrops and wings . here lies the noble , magical illusion of theater . nothing is ; everything represents . the moment the curtain is raised , an agreement between stage and audience manifest itself . and now , together , we ' ll create ! in other words , it is obvious that the drama of the magic flute should unfold in a baroque theater .
, who saw the film at the venice film festival , gave it a mixed review . however , he confused the characters sarastro ( the wise and kindly enemy of the queen of the night ) and monostatos ( his lecherous henchman , who tries to rape pamina and eventually defects to the queen ' s side ) .

ingmar bergman puts his indelible stamp on mozart’s exquisite opera in this sublime rendering of one of the composer’s best - loved works : a celebration of love , forgiveness , and the brotherhood of man . the magic flute ( trollflöjten ) stars josef köstlinger as tamino , the young man determined to rescue a beautiful princess from the clutches of parental evil .

criticised elley and others for apparently not informing themselves more about the original opera before they began to write their reviews of the branagh film .
another sjöström film – his first hollywood production – was the last film i watched in the cinema with ingmar , at easter in 2006 . he who gets slapped ( 1924 ) , starring the wonderful lon chaney , is set in the world of the circus . this was mgm’s first production , and the roaring , ravenous circus lion doesn’t just appear in the film , but also makes its debut in mgm’s famous production logo . it’s a film with connections to [ bergman’s own ] sawdust and tinsel ( gycklarnas afton , 1953 ) . shame and humiliation , the pain of the white clown , the tension between bourgeois life and the life of the artist , the clown and the rage – it’s all there in this masterful silent film , made by the director most dear to ingmar .
opera is hard to present as a movie , particularly an opera like the magic flute where the mixture of fairy - tale fantasy , serious concept risk at lesser hands to present a hodgepodge with no real idea what the director has in mind . alternatively , others may strive to stress the imagery to the detriment of the substance . losey ' s don giovanni is a case in point , where the sheer beauty of the surroundings averted attention from the music . there can be no better magic flute than bergman ' s . the gradual movement of the story from the initial sight of the obviously fake scenery to the sublime ending where we are really transposed in the realm of sarastro is incredible . the occasional pictures of members of the audience listening raptly is a marvelous touch . no words can do justice to this masterpiece . watch it .

the reason that smurfette does not appear in this film adaptation is that the original comic book story this film was based upon was published several years before she made her debut (
la schtroumpfette
/
the smurfette
) in 1966 . similarly , the evil sorcerer gargamel ( along with his pet cat azrael ) does not appear in this film , because he made his debut in an early story (
le voleur de schtroumpfs
/
the smurfnapper
) in the smurfs ' own comic series in 1959 , a year after
the smurfs and the magic flute
( although he did appear in some of t . v . a . dupuis ' b & w ; animated tv shorts from the early 60s ) .
i was twelve years old when i saw the magic flute for the first time at the royal opera house in stockholm . [ . . . ] i already had my puppet theater . i mainly performed whatever stories i could find in the collections of children ' s fairy tales . there were four of us about the same age who were involved with the theater . [ . . . ] we made everything ourselves : the puppets , the costumes for each puppet , the scenary , and the lights . we had a revolving stage , a set that could be lowered , and a curved panoramic backdrop . we become increasingly sophisticated in our choice of plays . more and more , i began to look for plays that required complicated lighting and frequent changes of scenary . therefore , it seemed rather natural that the magic flute began to occupy a large place in the imagination of the head of this theater . one evening the director saw the magic flute performed and decided to do a production of the play . unfortunately , the project fell through because it was too expensive for us to purchase a complete recording of the opera .
his parents’ courtship and early life together formed the subject of the film the best intentions , which bille august directed in 1992 from a script by ingmar bergman .
with production design by henny normak ( who also assisted karen erskine in costume design ) and sets by anna lee - hansen and emilio moliner , bergman solves most of the problems with filmed opera . he emphasizes “the magic flute”‘s artificiality , wittily elevating us past the banality of hyperrealism . by utilizing the malleability of film as a medium , bergman avoids the traps of limited action in the opera’s “real time , ” employing inviting close - ups which , for once , are not gimmicky .
the magic flute , with its mixture of solemn ritual and nonsensical pantomime , usually takes place in an exotic fantasyland . when ingmar bergman filmed the opera in 1975 , he surrendered to the artifice by setting it in a theatre , with an audience of enraptured , unquestioning children . branagh , who is writing the screenplay himself , wants his version to be tougher , harsher ; he is also keen to give mozart ' s story about two courting couples an epic breadth , so he set the opera in a combat zone during the first world war . the queen of the night , mozart ' s villain , enters astride a tank , and sarastro , the humane conscience of the story , shelters refugees in a field hospital .
as a moviegoer , ingmar was practically childish . and a professional . and excited . he didn’t indulge in intellectual analysis or the reflections of a cineaste . the greatest praise that could be bestowed on a film was : “the best flick of the summer – a real fårö film . ”
the film has also been released on dvd in the netherlands ( in a three - disc set ) , finland , argentina , and japan .
in film after film , bergman put the knife into matrimony , culminating in the harrowing scenes from a marriage ( 1973 ) , shot originally for television but subsequently condensed into a shorter ( but still exceptionally long ) 168 - minute version for cinemas .

next week i ' ll be looking at the film that ( at last ) brings together the talents of bergman and david carradine , the serpent ' s egg .
the queen of the night ( birgit nordin ) offers his daughter pamina ( irma urrila ) to tamino ( josef köstlinger ) , but he has to bring her back from her father and priest sarastro ( ulrik cold ) . she gives a magic flute to tamino and magic bells to the bird hunter papageno ( håkan hagegård ) , who follows tamino and wants to find a wife . the duo travels in a journey of love and knowledge . ingmar bergman ' s adaptation of the last opera of mozart to the cinema is a homage of the master to the opera and theater . sang in swedish and divided in three parts , bergman shows faces of the audience in the overture ( i particularly did not like this part ) ; the first act ; the intermission , showing the backstage ; and the second and last act . the cast in general is very beautiful , highlighting the singer irma urrila . my vote is seven . title ( brazil ) :
a flauta mágica
(
the magic flute
)
productions are dominated by just one of these qualities – which one depends on the director , set designer , etc . – but this film , like mozart’s music , contains them all . in my opinion this multilayered atmosphere is what makes the film outstanding .
as i have not seen the original production of the magic flute i cannot comment on what bergman has changed , but what he presents . the film follows prince tamino ( josef kostlinger ) and his bumbling friend papageno ( hakan hagegard ) as they journey to save the life of pamina ( irma urrila ) . they are given this task shortly after prince tamino ' s life is saved by the rather voluptuous three ladies ( britt - marie aruhn , birgitta smiding , kirsten vaupel ) who are under the employ of the queen of the night ( birgit nordin ) . prince tamino and papageno are given a magical flute , some bells , and are sent off on their merry quest .
he became director of the helsingborg city theatre in 1944 , the same year that saw his first film script , frenzy , brought to the big screen by alf sjoberg .
an interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,
sorry to bother you .
an oddity . feels like a pet project as when burton made ' charlie & the chocolate factory ' or jackson ' king kong ' . of course , ' the magic flute ' is not risible like those two wrong - headed indulgences , but the enthusiasm belongs to bergman to be glimpsed by the audience . this giddiness however makes it the only truly * * cute * * bergman film i ' ve ever seen ! it ' s pretty darling . švankmajer went further with ' faust ' , though .
in 1920 cambridge philosopher goldsworthy lowes dickinson wrote a literary epilogue to the magic flute which oddly anticipates branagh ' s scenario . in the aftermath of the first world war , dickinson sends the hero , tamino , on a search for faith , during which he experiments with christianity and buddhism . we are now living in the new age , so for branagh the spiritual quest has become a matter of personal growth . as the producer pierre - olivier bardet told me : ' it is a film about becoming an adult , becoming a true human . '
barbara trapido , temples of delight , 1990 . a novel which , though set in contemporary england , takes its structure very loosely from the magic flute . characters in the novel are analogous to pamina , tamino , papageno and sarastro although the novel strays heavily from the original plot with the ' pamina ' character ultimately rejecting ' tamino ' in favour of a romantic relationship with ' sarastro ' .
bergman was the archetypal auteur — a phrase reserved for film - makers who stamped their own personality on their work both through the script and in the way their movies looked .
the comedy in the magic flute is retained faithfully in the film . as in the opera , the beautiful young papagena pretends to be an old woman as part of one of the tests that papageno must undergo before winning her and , again as in the original work , the film audience sees her only as an old woman until near the end ( except in a two - paged spread that papageno reads ) . however , because this is possible on film , the old papagena is played by a genuine elderly woman ( liz smith in a non - singing role ) , not by soprano silvia moi , who plays the young papagena , while in stage versions of the opera , both characters are always played by the same singer , who , as the old woman , either covers her face and speaks with a cackle , or dons an
old woman
mask which she conveniently throws off when she turns into the young version of herself .
despite negative reviews , this film was a major success at the box - office , grossing us $ 11 million from 432 theaters . at the time , this was the highest on record for a non - disney film , only to be surpassed by the care bears movie ( 1985 ) in 1985 . this film was also among atlantic releasing ' s all - time top five movies at the box office , and upon its success , atlantic established their new ( but short - lived ) children ' s film label , clubhouse pictures , to release more animated features .
back to le clézio : “film is always now . ” though , in fact , everything is over – the actors are somewhere else . or , as ingmar often exclaimed while watching an old film , “to think that everyone we see is dead ! ”
feuer’s collection stamps a paramount moment for dance on film that encouraged curiosity and provoked deep contemplation about captured movement . this series at moma allows us to peek into the marriage of dance and film that is expressive , archival , experimental , and visually captivating .
even so , branagh ' s final image - to be filled in by computer graphics - will hark back to the rational 18th century , when music symbolised harmony and promised to restore paradise . as the last chords die away , the flute twirls weightlessly in mid - air , turned to radiant gold by the sun . it may be too late for mozart to save our hell - bent world . even so , it ' s pleasing to think that , thanks to voyager , the magic flute may one day entertain the angels , or convert extra - terrestrials to opera .
peter cowie is the author of ingmar bergman : a critical biography ( limelight ) , and the editor of the annual international film guide . he is international publishing director of variety .
greatest example of opera on film . rather than present this most stagy and fantastical of operas as “real , ” bergman frames the film as a stage performance at sweden’s historic drottningholm court theatre , from the viewpoint of a little girl in the audience to whom the camera constantly returns . throughout act i the opera’s pastel - colored fairy - tale setting
that set the story during world war i , with the german libretto translated to english by stephen fry , and music conducted by james conlon . branagh ' s film is the first time

this has the unfortunate effect of shattering the illusion from both ends . film , for the most part , requires a greater degree of realism and suspension of disbelief from the audience in order for it to function properly . the stage is a place for big emotion and can get away with a larger degree of artificiality that just doesn ' t work in film ( see dogville for a good reason about why stage ideas just don ' t always translate well to film ) .
bergman used to help a local projectionist with film screenings , and went on to train as an actor and director at the university of stockholm .
the cinematic version , cut down from a five - hour long tv mini - series , earned a third best foreign film oscar in 1982 .
with lengths of film purchased from a local photography shop , he began splicing together his own short dramas from “found” material .
everyone else is mental ! giving this film such high ratings . i am a fan of mozart and i have a high tolerance for lengthy foreign films and musicals , bu this was near unbearable . i usual enjoy the songs from this opera , but they are now banned for a year , because of the bad memories from this film . it ' s so long and for some reason the camera pans to members of the audience for the first four minutes of the film . and throughout the opera at random points the camera pans to some little girl in the audience watching the opera . i mean wtf ? ? i thought i was watching the opera . do not rent this film ! ! it
s so boring !
the critics shared bergman ' s enthusiasm .

he entered the swedish film industry in 1941 , initially as a script doctor , and in 1944 he was asked to write the screenplay for alf sjöberg’s film frenzy . a tale of teenage angst , it starred the young mai zetterling and became a big international hit , paving the way for bergman to graduate to direction in 1946 with crisis .
is an odd mix of romantic fantasy and promotion of freemasonry , of which mozart was a member . but there ' s no need to support masonic ideals to enjoy both the sprightly story and the lilting melodies . the queen of the night asks the knight tamino to rescue her daughter pamina from the priest sarastro . in exchange , she offers tamino pamina ' s hand in marriage . to help tamino in his quest , she gives him a magic flute . the bird hunter papageno , who is looking for a wife , goes with tamino , and the queen gives him magic bells . but once they arrive at sarastro ' s temple , they find that the situation is not what the queen has described .

in actuality , it was preceded in belgium by the 1965 b & w ; animated compilation film , the adventures of the smurfs ( 1965 ) ( which was forgotten and rarely seen since then , having been overshadowed by this film ' s success in belgium ) , and was later followed by the 2011 live - action film , the smurfs ( 2011 ) , produced by sony pictures animation .

the film , currently back in cinemas to celebrate its 50th anniversary , was said to echo modern fears of a nuclear holocaust and became an arthouse classic .
he saw the films made by most of his younger colleagues . i was struck by the generosity of his comments . he was often genuinely sad and hurt if you didn’t like the film on offer .
to mark the occasion , the swedish film institute set up a prize in his name to be awarded annually for distinction in film - making . bergman’s last two films were from the life of the marionettes ( 1980 ) and fanny and alexander ( 1982 ) , the nostalgic and life - affirming evocation of his childhood days , which was universally acknowledged as a consummate swan - song .
i first saw ingmar bergman ' s version of w . a . mozart ' s ( 1756 - 1791 ) die zauberflote on betamax way back in the 90 ' s . i really fell in love with mozart ' s works after that . this terrific 1975 rendition is magical and stays true to what mozart probably intended it to be . a great opera singspiel .
what sets this film aside from bergman ' s many other productions is the aforementioned attempt at capturing the joy of multiple forms of performance art . from the first frame we see that bergman is intending this film to showcase his love of music , theater and film all in one go . the opening shots consist of crowd members young and old , male and female , of many races simply sitting in rapt attention of the overture that wafts through the theater . bergman constantly reminds us that this is a theatrical production by cutting back to the crowd and showing the myriad of set changes that take place throughout the show .
in syndicated televised versions of the movie , the smurfs ' party sequence , which originally took place after the completion of the flute and just before sir johan and peewit return back to homnibus , was shifted to the beginning of the movie , right after the jousting tournament and peewit ' s song of friendship , with some narration added .
at a time when filmmakers are being invited into the opera house in record numbers and when the metropolitan opera and other companies can sell out hd broadcasts to movie theaters , taking a chance on the
flute
hardly seems like taking a chance . lots of movies don ' t do well . they ' re junk , and everybody knows it from the start . this
flute ,
on the other hand , could be a surprise modest success .
