The Magician (1958)
7/10
Great film, but disappointing ending.

Warning: Spoilers
It is true that this is a great film, as many other users have stated, it has an original script and it is very stunning. It has a very good moral, that of the one that pulls others' legs and finally he is the object of scorn. It shows us as well how anyone can be stubborn with no limits and how people can be hypocritical. However, the end doesn't help to consider it a master's work. It is a very happy ending that it is not just possible to believe (suddenly, comedians are engaged by the king, after having suffered from the scorn of the bourgeois). Let me laugh! Mr Bergman should have made more attention to that cheesy happy ending!
