David (Gunnar Björnstrand) is a gynaecologist who is involved with a young patient. His wife, Marianne (Eva Dahlbeck), learns of this transgression and begins an affair with his best friend. They attempt a trial separation, however, an encounter upon a train bound for Copenhagen reminds them of the good times and connection they have with each other. Mirroring the star driven romantic comedies of the era, Ingmar Bergman’s A Lesson In Love features themes of reconciliation and hope. The flirtatious spark between the central characters is a reminder of Bergman’s remarkable skill as a dialogue writer and is evidence of the brilliance shown in his later films. Considering it was scripted within months of Bergman divorcing his third wife, this is a surprisingly sprightly comed of marital manners. 4 STARS OUT OF 5 A Lesson in Love Ingmar Bergman Buy UK Dvd (This Site) (Shipped from UK) Single Disc [2004] Actors: Eva Dahlbeck, Gunnar Bjornstrand, Yvonne Lombard, Harriet Andersson, Ake Gronberg Director: Ingmar Bergman Format: Black & White, PAL Language: Swedish Region: All Regions Number of discs: 1 Classification: 15 Studio: Tartan Video DVD Release Date: 6 Dec 2004 DVD Features: 4-page booklet with David Parkinson Film Notes Digitally Remastered Print Original Bergman Trailers Scene Selection Original Aspect Ratio Sold Out. Update: (Dec 08) The UK company who released this, Tartan Dvd, went out of business in 2008 and are not making this title anymore. Those sold at online retailers and shops are just what they have in stock and which can't be replaced. For example, Seventh Seal is becoming incredibly hard to find now as it is Bergman's best seller and stockists can't replace it once they have sold all their available copies. As of December 2008 no company has yet come in to release the Bergman titles. So at some point if things don't change stocks are going to dry up which is weird when you consider that these are the films of Europe's greatest 20th-century film director.
