Review of Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) by Paul W — 09 Dec 2010
Verges on tragic comedy in the same way that Shakespeare so often does. As Socrates claims at the end of the comedic dialogue The Symposium "that the man who knew how to write a comedy could also write a tragedy, and that a skillful tragic writer was capable of being also a comic writer:" Berrgman shows he can waver and tilt between both worlds with cinematic poetry in this early film of his.
