GOTHIC MOOD ritten, produced, and direct- by Ingmar Bergman, "The jician" is a 1959 import from Sweden. Like most of Bergman's work, the prevalent mood is Gothic: thunder and lightning, the forests inhabited by unseen demons, ominous clouds racing across the sky, a witch uttering macabre omens, and a driverless coach with frightened horses galloping silently over the barren landscape. Briefly, the film deals with a touring theatrical group on Its way from Denmark to Sweden something more than a hundred years ago. Vogler, masked and mute, is the leader of this mysterious troupe; he is an itinerant magician,, illusionist, and faith-healer. His coach is stopped at a tollgate outside of Stockholm. From there he is taken to a nearby home where he is forced to stand trial — his inquisitors, a superstitious police chief and a skeptical doctor. If Vogler's magic is fakery, , his judges will let him pass; if not, he must return to Denmark.

Max von Sydow, who last year achieved the first successful portrayal of Christ in the latest version of "The Greatest Story Ever Told," plays the role of Volger with his characteristic blend of sad compassion and silent guilt. Along with "Wild Strawberries" and "Seventh Seal," "The Magician" ranks as one of Bergman's best and most hauntingly bizzare films.
