Review of Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) by Christina R — 01 Feb 2008
I am by no means another Leonard Maltin here, but this film is a masterpiece. The acting isn't that great, the script is very Bergman-esque with the usual philosophical-trajectories, but at least the film does what EVERY film should do - teach us a lesson on values.
In essence, we as people should only be selfish about 2 things - love whomever we please, and howevermany we please. Also, the sedating shots of Sweden's summer nights have an incredible effect on the mood which is anti-depressing.
But seriously, see this if you want to laugh and cry all in one take.
