Compare Prices on Sawdust and Tinsel - Criterion Collection
**** 1953. Written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. A land circus owner comes serve to the town he left his wife and his children in, three years before. Criterion presents here the uncut version of this film with scenes absent from the VHS and laserdisc editions of SAWDUST AND TINSEL. Among the bonus features, you’ll catch an introduction by Ingmar Bergman himself, shot in 2003, as well as a very safe commentary by film scholar Peter Cowie. The theme of humiliation, sexual, physical or simply psychological, is the main theme of SAWDUST AND TINSEL and the underlying element of its most awesome scenes such as the flashback on the beach which is also an homage to Sergei Eisenstein and to other masters of the soundless films period. A movie to witness several times.
A modern generation of Bergman viewers has begun to study that many of the lesser-known films by the big Swedish director are among his very best, or, one should say, they suppose to unusual audiences in a more distinguished contrivance than the “cannonical” Bergman films do. “Winter Light”, “Hour of the Wolf”, “Shame” and, yes, “Sawdust and Tinsel” are at LEAST as worth-watching as “Seventh Seal”, “Cries and Whispers”, etc. “Sawdust” is a harrowing film, even by Bergman’s standards, and it’s not for the faint hearted, but it is one of the most engaging films I have ever seen; it’s filled with apprehension and humiliation (and more raw damage than a dozen other films) but it finally shows a real compassion for its characters, an attribute that ultimately makes it a correct work of humanistic art.
