Summer Interlude

1951, Movie, 1h 36min

Touching on many of the themes that would define the rest of his career—isolation, performance, the inescapability of the past— Ingmar Bergman’s tenth film was a gentle drift toward true mastery. Maj-Britt Nilsson beguiles as an accomplished ballet dancer haunted by her tragic youthful affair with a shy, handsome student (Birger Malmsten). Her memories of the sunny, rocky shores of Stockholm’s outer archipelago mingle with scenes from her gloomy present at the theater where she performs. A film that the director considered a creative turning point, SUMMER INTERLUDE is a reverie about life and death that unites Bergman’s love of theater and cinema.

Displaying growing confidence as a filmmaker, Bergman juxtaposes opposites like isolation and happiness, doom and hope, and (...) shows us just how close these opposites can be to each other.

För visst är Birger Malmsten, med sitt mörka hår och svårmodiga ögon, väl värd att minnas.
