Last Minute Sales & Specials

Ingmar Bergman presents the battle of the sexes as a ramshackle, grotesque carnival in this, one of the late master's most vivid early works. The story of the twisted relationship between a turn-of-the-century traveling circus owner (Ake Gronberg) and his performer girlfriend (Harriet Andersson), "Sawdust And Tinsel" features dreamlike detours and twisted psychosexual power play that presage the director's "Smiles Of A Summer Night" and "The Seventh Seal," works that would soon change the landscape of art cinema forever.

Audio commentary by Bergman scholar Peter Cowie; Video introduction by Ingmar Bergman from 2003; New and improved English subtitle translation; PLUS: A new essay by critic John Simon; An appreciation by filmmaker Catherine Breillat, NTSC.
