If you loved Der Ritus, try Nach der Probe
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Ingmar Bergman, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Ritus, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Nach der Probe is
All About Eve if directed by a misanthrope. A theater director is confronted by the anxieties of his past when an actress asks him about her late mother, his former star. Bergman turns theatrical artifice into stark emotional reckoning.
