An early Ingmar Bergman effort, this atmospheric, psychosexual drama finds the ringmaster (Ake Grönberg) of a run-down circus returning to his wife (Annika Tretow) after a long absence when his bedraggled caravan returns to his hometown. The reunion doesn’t sit well with the showman’s horseback rider/mistress (Harriet Andersson), whose vengeful pursuit of an affair with a young actor (Hasse Ekman) sets a sure course to spiritual tragedy. AKA: "The Naked Night." 92 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Swedish Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; featurette; In Swedish with English subtitles.
