"Sommarnattens leende" is a comedy with a very strong stage flavor, and it is quite interesting to look at the film against the literary script written by the director Ernst Ingmar Bergman himself. In order to maintain the compactness of the plot, the director deleted or reorganized some descriptive paragraphs and chose a more concise and clear expression, thus making the film more inclined to the form of traditional light comedy films. There is an Agatha Christie-esque design at the end of the film: all contradictions are concentrated in a closed place to be resolved, actress Daisy Rui is like a female version of Poirot, and like director Bergman himself, controlling every The advance and retreat of a link, but the final result is not to solve the case, but to obtain love and happiness. Although this large plot is extremely dramatic, it still shows the director Bergman's high scheduling and editing skills. Through a large number of carefully designed cross-shots, it calmly explains the seduction, deception, betrayal, and communion between three pairs of men and women. Conspiracy and other complex interactions, and this is the unique technique of Bergman's films

It's really not Bergman, and the master's melodrama is so wonderful! The summer romance of four couples and the three smiles of summer night @film forum

The way of building character relationships is not particularly smooth, and the style of performance is consistent, but Bergman conveys his unique cold humor, and I like it. The lighting is not as deliberate as in the early Hollywood films, I am still a little unaccustomed to it, hehe ~
