    Bergman's early romantic comedies have no trace of the author. Roulette with...

    Hahahaha so funny! Bergman is really Shakespeare in the film industry. This is too Shakespeare's comedy: How to solve the contradiction between marriage and emotional life? Come to a carnival dinner, let us correct all the characters' relationships and let everyone return to their respective places. Finally, everyone is happy! From the point of view of the lines and golden sentences, it is not inferior to Shakespeare. Every sentence is so correct and full of jokes. It is unexpectedly good!...

    #237|The script is mature and thoughtful, funny and reasonably tight. The proverbs about love may be worth transcribing, but they are still jokes. Bibi Andersson's first involvement in a Bergman film was a trick (a supporting actress on...

    During the low ebb of 55 years, I either committed suicide or made a comedy, so I had Xia Ye's smile and became the first Bergman work I saw on the big...

    "Summer night sky has three smiles", so this is Bergman's version of "Three Smiles". Unexpectedly close to a Hollywood cabaret, but the staring at the faces, the long indoor takes and those poetic moments prefigure the later style, and the cut of the lawyer falling is...

    "Obviously I hate the world, but still can't stop loving it" the unexpectedly lovely early Bergman. I really like the bickering between lawyers and actresses; at this moment, the master has begun to show the discussion of religious beliefs, and the role of a very functional young quasi-priest; the casting of each actress is too accurate, you can feel the character as soon as the image comes out. Both are so beautiful, well worth a look whether they are typical bergmans or not...

    After three smiles, everyone finds the love pattern that suits them best. Constrained, rebellious, free, gambler (the old will return to reality, the old would rather have a house). Jealousy, scramble, oppression, and outbursts flashed one by one. The absurd plot is very suitable for an opera, and the little philosophical thinking is also very interesting. It not only satirizes religion, calculation, but also satirizes the impulse...

    It feels like it should be a few very straight forward romantic comedies, but some of the characters are quite awkward. Maybe this is the point of the comedy? I love that dark bed, damn it! Every time it comes out, it makes me laugh hahahaha~ Desperate comedy, but at least it is still a comedy in form, I can't imagine how that musical adaptation can get into a song as sad as send in the clowns....

    a discussion about love

    I didn't expect a heavy like Ingmar Bergman to tell a story in a comedic way, and to be able to tell it so successfully. But I don't think that because this is a so-called comedy film, the connotation of the film is much less. The background color of the film is still Bergman's sympathetic...

    summer night smile

    Smile on a Summer Night is an important work of Bergman's early films, and the earliest of all my Bergman films. The movie is an indoor comedy with a lively pace, humorous language, and bright shots. Compared with the metaphysics in the middle and the repression in the later period, this film lacks...
