Review of Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) by Sarah Y — 12 Nov 2011
If you have seen any stage or film version of A Midsummer Night Dream, then you have the nuts and bolts of this film. I would recommend this film to all the elitist snobs out there that think Ingmar Bergman's films are all about death, the silence of God, and bad mothers.
I wish that more of Bergman's cannon of work had this kind of heart and warmth. There is a level of depth that laughter can begin to serious topics too, which this film explores, further strengthening my previous mention of Shakespeare's comedy.
