Synopsis
A sensitive, lyrical offering from Ingmar Bergman, SUMMER INTERLUDE deals with the innocence of first love and the transition from youth to adulthood, two of the director-screenwriter's favorite themes, and ones that he would revisit in later works. When Marie (Maj-Britt Nilsson), a prima ballerina, receives an old lover's diary after his death in a tragic accident, she begins to reminisce about the happy summer she spent with Henrik (Birger Malmsten), her first love, on an island near Stockholm. A flashback shows the young couple in a playful, carefree light, full of energy and grace. Since parting from Henrik, Maria has emerged as a sucessful dancer with many admirers. But she is dissatisfied with her present life and unable to forget the ardent love she experienced that one fateful summer long ago. Serious and bittersweet, this is a simple story told by a master filmmaker. The ballet company of the Stockholm Royal Opera can be seen performing excerpts from SWAN LAKE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!, 6 May 2004
By Patrik Lemberg (Tammisaari Finland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I had seen around 20 Bergman films before I watched this edition of "Sommarlek". I was taken by how good this film was considering that it was among the first ten movies where Bergman had both written and directed, and that this era of his career isn't much talked about in comparison to his films from mid 50's through mid 60's. The story is clever and has a perfect balance between all of its aspects. "Sommarlek" introduced a "new" side of Bergman to me. To think that I seem not to have experienced all of him after 20 movies, and that there is more than as much left to explore. What a Master!
Tartan's edition of this movie is region-free, but not worth giving much compliments beside that. The picture is OK - it's not restored on close to a Criterion standard, but the audio should definitely have spent some more time in the restoration-studio before the disc's release - it distorts a bit, even silence fusses (a lot), and inconvenient "clip noises", that could easily have been removed can be heard. The special features are disappointing; there are filmographies for the two leading actors and for Bergman (as is the case on most of Tartan's Bergman DVD's), and two trailers; for Bergman’s “Persona” (1966) and “Autumn Sonata” (1978) - movies that have NOTHING to do with this picture, and furthermore is included on other Tartan discs.
To sum up: 3/5 stars for the DVD (a big plus is that there are NO synchronization problems), 5/5 for the story, acting, directing, and cinematography. The movie is likely to grasp you, and make you forget about the bad sound quality, and it isn’t worth giving less than 5/5 stars for this movie because of something as stupid as the sound quality on a DVD. Enjoy a great film!

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Bergman, 3 Aug 2008
By Ian Shine (England) - See all my reviews
  
Thematically, this is very typical Bergman. Destroyed love and happiness in youth leading to a hangover into adulthood that casts a shadow on the rest of the protagonist's life.
I thought Bergman pushed the film away from being too much of a carbon copy certain other films of his by introducing the lecherous uncle and the diary of the former-lover. It's quite slow to get started, but once the flashback to the past commences, it's typical (and this word is not meant in any negative way whatsoever) Bergman. Emotionally taut, visually alluring, scripted perfectly...
However, I have only given it four stars because it didn't quite work as well for me as 'Summer with Monika' or 'A lesson in love'. I found these two films to be paced and lot better, and to be a lot more engaging. 'Summer Interlude,' and not just in the title, bears a lot of similarities to 'Summer with Monika', as Bergman takes the minx-like heroine and slightly naive hero and throws them together in a secluded place where there love can play out. While the heroine in 'Monika' is a mischievious gamine, unlike the heroine in 'Interlude', the maps of their loves follow similarly tempestuous routes.
While this is a much better film than many other directors could ever hope to produce, I don't think it quite reaches the five-star peaks of some of Bergman's other films. Still, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars remember that first love.....?, 2 May 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Summer Interlude [VHS] [1950] (VHS Tape)
This is a raw and really evocative piece, in black and white with sub titles it is hard to imagine how you might be sucked into the raw emotion of a first tragic love but you will....the emotion and the force of feeling in this film will take your breath away..particularly if you are female..a real feeling film, slow to start but slowly unravelling the whole contents of a heart and a past...unmissable!
