Bergman’s late-era television film is based on the real-life story of the director’s Uncle Carl, a middle-aged inventor committed to a mental institution in Uppsala in 1925 after he attempted to kill his much younger fiancée.
An overlooked curiosity from the great Ingmar Bergman, the surprisingly comic dark drama In the Presence of a Clown once more revisits the relationship between death and art. A four-part chamber piece with Bergman’s Fanny & Alexander and Best Intentions star Börje Ahlstedt at its centre.
