The Venetian (1958)
A playful television adaptation of a Renaissance sex comedy in which two Venetian women compete for the attentions of a charming outsider during carnival. Deliberately theatrical and stylized, the film reflects Bergman’s interest in farce and performance.
Director: Ingmar Bergman
