Shooting in Swedish on a set replicating a lovely 18th-century theatre, Bergman begins his wonderfully warm, witty and sensuous movie by focusing on the faces of a rapt audience (momentarily including his own) enjoying the overture. Thereafter, as the (abridged and intriguingly amended) tale of Tamino, Pamina et al proceeds, he highlights the piece’s exuberant theatrical illusionism, at the same time deploying close-ups to enhance the emotions conveyed by an excellent young cast. An admirably light touch is applied throughout, making for a performance of musical excellence, dramatic vitality and enormous, effortless charm.

Best operatic film ever.

[@flowersofshanghai]

It is indeed remarkable, but - if you ask me - still too much stage production and not enough cinema. Have you seen Andrzej Żuławski's version of Boris Godunov? For me, this is the greatest opera film because it is 100% cinema and still reflects its origin as a stage production on an interesting meta-level.
