The Magic Flute
Trollflöjten (original)
This scintillating screen version of Mozart's beloved opera shows Bergman's deep knowledge of music and his gift for expressing it in filmic terms. Casting some of Europe's finest soloists-among them Josef Köstlinger, Ulrik Cold, and Håkan Hagegård-the director lovingly recreated the baroque theater of the Drottningholm Palace in Stockholm to stage the story of the prince Tamino (Köstlinger) and his zestful sidekick Papageno (Hagegård), who seek to save a beautiful princess (Irma Urrila) from the clutches of evil. A celebration of love, forgiveness, and the brotherhood of man, The Magic Flute is considered by many to be the most exquisite opera film ever made.
Starring Josef Köstlinger, Irma Urrila, Håkan Hagegård, Elisabeth Erikson, Britt-Marie Aruhn, Kirsten Vaupel, Birgitta Smiding, Ulrik Cold, Birgit Nordin, Ragnar Ulfung
It's a fantasy and comedy movie, and has a rating of 7.5 out of 10 from Imdb which is usually fine for this kind of movie.
