Sinekatalog’s take

Ingmar Bergman's English-language Weimar drama follows a trapeze artist in hyperinflation Berlin, drawn into sinister experiments. Oppressive and stylised, with Liv Ullmann and David Carradine, it is a flawed, haunting rarity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
