Smiles of a summer night

Ingmar Bergman's international breakthrough took the form of this turn-of-the-century comedy about passion, jealousy and pride.

The film is about a love spiral where Bergman plays with roles and perspectives, sarcastic lines are exchanged with perfect timing. Jarl Kulle deceives Margit Carlqvist with Eva Dahlbeck, who is longed for by Gunnar Björnstrand, who is married with Ulla Jacobson, who is in love with Björn Bjelfvenstam, who is after Harriet Andersson, who wants Åke Fridell.

Smiles of a summer night is Ingmar Bergman's funniest film.
