In the Presence of a Clown
In 1925, eccentric inventor and Franz Schubert devotee Carl Åkerblom is confined to a psychiatric ward in Uppsala after attempting to murder his fiancée. Obsessed with death, music, and the future of cinema, he joins forces with a fellow patient to create a “living talkie,” an experimental film performance with live-spoken dialogue. As the project unfolds, art, madness, and mortality collide in a tragicomic reflection on creativity and human frailty.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
"Фигляр, шумящий на помосте" (1998) tells its story without decoration: humanity here is weakness and strength at once.
If you want cinema that leaves a mark — not entertains, but reaches — this is it.
For viewers for whom it matters that something stays after the credits.
Director: Ingmar Bergman

Viewing atmosphere: solo or with someone close — not for a big crowd.
