Title: It truly is a piece of a vomit
Review: Whoever called this movie a piece of vomit was right on the mark. I am one of Bergman's most devoted fans and I think movies such as the "Seventh Seal" and "Smiles from a Summer Night" are among the best films ever produced but I can only find "Sawdust and Tinsel" to be disgustingly pretentious and thourougly uninteresting. However, even if some modern, revisionist critics have been intimidated by Bergman's reputation into finding this movie "an important stepping stone for his later works," why watch it? Go watch the later works themselves! After all, even the revisionists will agree that they're the only reason "Sawdust and Tinsel" is important (aside from being a good demonstration of how bad a film can possibly be).
Is the review positive or negative?
