Marking Ingmar Bergman's debut as screenwriter and directed by Alf
Sjöberg, this expressionistic crime of passion revolves around a
young student, Jan-Erik (Alf Kjellin), his sadistic Latin teacher,
nicknamed 'Caligula' (Stig Järrel), and a newsagent
assistant-cum-prostitute, Bertha (Mai Zetterling). When Jan-Erik
assists the drunken Bertha, he becomes her lover. Bertha is,
however, terrified of another man, whom it becomes clear is
terrorising her. When Jan-Erik finds Bertha dead, he accuses
Caligula of being responsible. The themes of creaticity, mentors
and oppressive authority, which would become Bergman's trademarks,
are staked out in this semi-autobiographical work.
Box set featuring all 14 episodes of the short-lived TV series. In
'Escape from Tomorrow' astronauts Virdon, Jones and Burke take off
from Earth in 1981 on a mission into outer space, but soon manage
to get caught in a time warp. When they return home in 3085, they
are surprised to find the planet now ruled by talking apes. 'The
Gladiators' sees Burke and Virdon pitted against each other in
combat for the entertainment of a cruel ape leader. 'The Trap' has
Burke trapped with his enemy Urko in an underground railway
station. 'The Good Seeds' finds Galen and the astronauts hiding out
on a farm. In 'The Legacy' Burke and Virdon discover a message from
20th Century scientists which leads them discover how the world was
destroyed. 'Tomorrow's Tide' sees the astronauts captured and put
to work in an ape fishing village. 'The Surgeon' has Galen's old
girlfriend Kira operate on an injured Virdon. In 'The Deception' a
blind chimp falls in love with Burke. 'The Horse Race' sees Virdon
accept the challenge of racing horses in exchange for another
human's freedom. 'The Interrogation' has Burke captured by the apes
and threatened with brain-washing. 'The Tyrant' finds the
astronauts trying to protect a human farm community against the
advances of an ambitious ape. 'The Cure' sees the astronauts argue
with a chimp doctor when an outbreak of malaria effects a human
village. 'The Liberator' has the astronauts captured and sent to
work in the mines, where they attempt to rally their fellow human
beings in a revolt against the ape masters. Finally, in 'Up Above
the World So High', the astronauts meet a human eager to learn the
secret of flight.
