Marie is a talented young ballerina. One summer, while staying with her uncle, she meets and falls in love with Henrik, a wealthy college boy. Soon they begin spending their days together and become totally consumed with one another. But, as the summer begins to die and autumn draws in, Marie becomes troubled and is overcome with a deep feeling of unease. Then, on the morning of one of their last few days together, Henrik makes a shallow dive and suffers fatal head and back injuries. Years later, Marie becomes a prima ballerina, but her success is dulled by the pain and devastation she still feels at the loss of her first true love. Soon, a new relationship and the discovery of an old diary will awaken old memories and force her to re-examine her past. This lyrical study of the power of young love from master filmmaker Ingmar Bergman is a poetic evocation of the burden of memory and the power of loss. This is the picture that establishd Bergman's international reputation. It contains the first intimations of the dramatic intensity and structural complexity that would characterise his more mature work. Maj-Britt Nilsson gives a performance of such sensitivity that one is at a loss to explain why Bergman dropped her from his stock company after Secrets of Women a couple of years later. Gunnar Fischer and Bengt Jammark's shimmering images of the sunny Swedish countryside further enhance this subtle, moving film. 4 STARS OUT OF 5 Summer Interlude Ingmar Bergman Buy UK Dvd (This Site) (Shipped from UK) Single Disc [2004] Actors: Maj-Britt Nilsson, Birger Malmsten, Alf Kjellin, Annalisa Ericson, Georg Funkquist Director: Ingmar Bergman Format: Black & White, Full Screen, PAL Language: Swedish Region: All Regions Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 Number of discs: 1 Classification: PG Studio: Tartan Video DVD Release Date: 29 Mar 2004 Run Time: 91 minutes DVD Features: Main Language: Swedish Available Audio Tracks: Dolby Digital Sub Titles: English Disc Format: DVD 5 Star And Director Filmographies Scene Selection Original US Persona Trailer Original Autumn Sonata Trailer Price: £17.99 (UK Sterling) / $ 37.99 (US Dollars) (Shipped from UK) (Price includes worldwide postage & packaging) Also available: amazon.co.uk | amazon.com Movie Review Ingmar Bergman ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth ingmar bergman dvds ingmar bergman videos ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth Page created by: lenin@netcomuk.co.uk Changes last made: 2007
