Ingmar Bergman's drama-about-a-drama, originally made for Swedish
television in 1969, asks questions about obscenity, censorship and
the role of the artist. Three actors from a theatre troupe that has
had its latest production, 'The Rite', banned after being charged
with obscenity are each interrogated privately by a provincial
magistrate. The trio are incestuously involved: Thea (Ingrid
Thulin) is married to Hans (Gunnar Björnstrand) but is having an
affair with Sebastian (Anders Ek), who killed her former husband in
a crime of passion. The judge, playing on the insecurities and
vanity of the three actors, brings to light their deepest, darkest
secrets. Bergman deliberately does not reveal the obscene nature of
the troupe's production, leaving the viewer to imagine for
themselves what they consider obscenity to be.
