Max Goldstein (connu comme Mago) est un costumier et décorateur allemand, né le 22 mars 1925 à Berlin (Allemagne), mort le 4 avril 2008 à Stockholm (Suède).

Biography

De confession juive, sa famille fuit l'Allemagne nazie en 1939 et émigre en Suède. Là, sous le nom de scène de Mago, Max Goldstein devient costumier et décorateur de théâtre, notamment à Stockholm. En particulier, au théâtre dramatique royal (Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern en suédois, abrégé Dramaten), évoquons Hedda Gabler d'Henrik Ibsen, mise en scène par Ingmar Bergman (costumes et décors, 1964, avec Renée Björling) et Ardèle ou la Marguerite de Jean Anouilh, mise en scène par Mimi Pollak (costumes et décors, 1967).

Hors Dramaten, mentionnons A Little Night Music, comédie musicale de Stephen Sondheim (costumes et décors, 1978, avec Zarah Leander et Jan Malmsjö), mise en scène par Stig Olin au Folkteatern de Stockholm (abrégé Folkan ).

Au cinéma, Mago collabore à quarante-deux films (majoritairement suédois, dont treize réalisations d'Ingmar Bergman), sortis de 1950 à 1987, principalement comme costumier. Citons La Nuit des forains (1953, avec Hasse Ekman et Harriet Andersson) et Persona (1966, avec Liv Ullman et Bibi Andersson) d'Ingmar Bergman, Aimer de Jörn Donner (1964, avec Harriet Andersson et Zbigniew Cybulski), ainsi que le film allemand C'est mon gigolo de David Hemmings (1978, avec David Bowie et Marlène Dietrich).

S'y ajoutent trois téléfilms, les deux premiers diffusés en 1983 et 1996. Le troisième est Bildmakarna d'Ingmar Bergman (2000, avec Anita Björk) ; il s'agit en fait d'une adaptation téléfilmée de la pièce éponyme de Per Olov Enquist, mise en scène par Bergman au Dramaten en 1998, avec la même distribution (et ultime contribution de Mago en ce lieu).

Their relationships are complicated. Sebastian, a volatile heavy drinker in debt, is guilty of killing his former partner and is having an affair with the dead man's widow. Thea, a high-strung woman who is prone to fits and seemingly fragile, is currently married to Sebastian's new partner, Hans. Hans is the troupe's leader. He is wealthy, self-contained, and growing weary of the troupe. The judge plays on the trio's insecurities, but they may have their revenge when they finally perform The Rite in a private session with him.

Andreas and Karin Vergerus (von Sydow and Andersson) live in fine rapport, their personalities matching well. Both are quiet, contemplative, and very rational persons, not liable to act spontaneously. The intruder, "David Kovac", played by Elliott Gould, is in contrast an impetuous man, uncompromising, overbearing, and tormented by inner contradictions and compulsions. Karin and David become clandestine lovers, but aren't appropriate for each other. Before they meet David attempted suicide and Karin was unhappy to be reduced to a wife. They flower in their new love and it destroys their lives.

Persona begins with images of camera equipment and projectors lighting up and projecting dozens of brief cinematic glimpses, including a crucifixion, an erect penis, a tarantula spider, clips from a comedic silent-film reel first seen in Bergman's Prison (depicting a man trapped in a room, being chased by Death and Satan), and the slaughter of a lamb. The last, and longest, glimpse features a boy who wakes up in a hospital next to several corpses, reading Mikhail Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time ("Vår Tids Hjälte" in the film), and caressing a blurry, transient image that shifts between Elisabet and/or Alma's faces.
