Review of Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) by Hannah M — 02 Jan 2012
This is my third Bergman film I've seen and I'm amazed by how different the three of them were. I've seen this story adapted a few times (most notably the Sondheim musical A Little Night Music) so it was nice to finally see the original.
It doesn't connect with me on any sort of deep level, but I enjoyed my time watching it. There are some extremely funny moments (I laughed out loud when Henrik, in his moment of despair, accidentally brings his stepmother's bed through the wall).
Overall, it's an extremely *pleasant* movie and I liked it, but that's as far as it goes for me.
