The Magic Flute

While the overture plays, Bergman goes from a close-up on one audience member's face after another.

To show my daughter.
The first time I saw this was in a movie theater where the music wrapped the audience inside it, and it was one of the most magical movie experiences of my life. Slow at times. Pamina singing the aria in which she is about to kill herself is some kind of highlight of the universe.
