If you loved An die Freude, try Der Ritus
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 An die Freude, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Der Ritus is
A defrocked priest stages a nude play that offends a judge. The troupe turns the obscenity trial into therapy, airing their private terrors onstage. Bergman’s camera dissects guilt like a scalpel.
