Bergman's original 1970s film of The Serpent's Egg is a bleak and disturbing essay on the rise of fascism in 1920s Berlin. Jewish-American circus performer Abel Rosenberg is out of work and destitute in Germany's war-devastated capital. When his brother commits suicide, Abel takes a job in Veregus' clinic where he discovers the horrific truth behind the work of the strangely beneficent professor and unlocks the chilling mystery that drove his brother to kill himself. As Europe simultaneously expands its boundaries and secures its borders, the tensions and contradictions present in '20s Berlin seem curiously familiar at the dawn of the 21st Century.T1712569512Company Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.
