I want you now.

Come, or I'll ravish you

in front of your asinine circus director!

- Let me go!

- I won't let you go!

Don't say that to me!

Don't say that about my husband.

If we were alone...

I'd slap you.

I'd flatten your resistance

into a scrap of smudged paper.

What play is that from?

You snort like a bull.

I'm not your cow!

Try one of those pale, flat-chested

little actresses who swoon over you!

What is your ladyship's price?

Tactless of me not to mention that.

You're too pretty, you poor thing.

You could be a girl.

I'll bet you've never satisfied a woman.

Mind what you say, you little ass.

You're not so pretty with red ears.

If you touch me, I'll bite you again.

I'll make mincemeat of your mouth.

I may not be beautiful, but you are.

Forgive me for what I said.

You must love me. I beg you!

On your knees then.

Bang your head on the floor.

Again. Harder.

I'll kiss you - just once.

Go away! You've hurt me!

Magnificent! The Alberti Circus

is holding a grand gala tonight!

Blom's become our friend.

He's offering us schnapps!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Listen and marvel!

At great cost and sacrifice,

the Alberti Circus now visits your town.

Tonight it will present a gala show

the likes of which you never saw!

Beauty and thrills...

to say nothing of laughter!

The greatest laugh of your life!

Magnificent costumes and dcors.

Artists who have gained renown

in the major capitals of the world!

Hush!

Do you hear?

What's going on?

Don't you know this is illegal?

- We're just advertising a bit...

- Do you have a permit?

- Permit? We thought...

- It doesn't matter what you thought!

Climb down from there and get back

to the fairground, where you belong.

- Yes, but...

- Shut your mouth, circus ape!

Do I have to read you the law?

Get down and clear out.

Cop! Cop! Stupid fop!

Unharness the horses!

We'll keep them until tomorrow.

That'll teach you to be impudent!

Damned buskers!

You can't play here when we're playing!

- Why do that?

- So she can't say they're dirty.

Oh, to hell with them!

You shouldn't drink in the morning.

What time will you be back,

or are you staying the night with her?

I haven't seen my boys in three years.

Then why bother now?

You don't understand.

Your wife's just waiting for you

to go back to her.

- And to help out in her shop.

- Shut up!

You don't deny it,

because you want to give it all up.

You're getting old and rickety,

and scared!

I'll be back for the show.

Please don't go!

Don't go! I beg you.

Crying? Are you jealous?

Is that so strange?

You'll go off and you won't come back.

You're sick of the circus and of me.

What'll I do without you?

But I love you.

Ingmar Bergman

Ernst Ingmar Bergman (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈɪŋmar ˈbærjman] ( listen); 14 July 1918 – 30 July 2007) was a Swedish director, writer, and producer who worked in film, television, theatre and radio. Considered to be among the most accomplished and influential filmmakers of all time, Bergman's renowned works include Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), The Seventh Seal (1957), Wild Strawberries (1957), The Silence (1963), Persona (1966), Cries and Whispers (1972), Scenes from a Marriage (1973), and Fanny and Alexander (1982). Bergman directed over sixty films and documentaries for cinematic release and for television, most of which he also wrote. He also directed over 170 plays. From 1953, he forged a powerful creative partnership with his full-time cinematographer Sven Nykvist. Among his company of actors were Harriet and Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann, Gunnar Björnstrand, Erland Josephson, Ingrid Thulin and Max von Sydow. Most of his films were set in Sweden, and numerous films from Through a Glass Darkly (1961) onward were filmed on the island of Fårö. His work often deals with death, illness, faith, betrayal, bleakness and insanity. Philip French referred to Bergman as "one of the greatest artists of the 20th century [...] he found in literature and the performing arts a way of both recreating and questioning the human condition." Mick LaSalle argued, "Like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce in literature, Ingmar Bergman strove to capture and illuminate the mystery, ecstasy and fullness of life, by concentrating on individual consciousness and essential moments." more…
