Plot
Three actors are interrogated by a judge about a performance said to be obscene. It was made for television.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ingmar Bergman's television chamber piece has three actors interrogated by a judge over an allegedly obscene act. Spare and tense, with Ingrid Thulin and Gunnar Björnstrand, it is a fierce reflection on art, power and censorship.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
