[A]n internationally revered delight about dueling love affairs at a summer estate.
USA Today
SMILES is clearly the work of a master -- observant, complex, and richly entertaining.
Premiere
Rating: 5/5 --
As a maker of romantic comedies, Bergman proves himself the equal of Ernst Lubitsch in his heyday at Paramount in the early 1930s.

The movie that put Ingmar Bergman on the map...
USA Today
Ingmar Bergman, the heart-chilling genius of Swedish films, is one of the few writer-directors who can create a sardonic allegory about the emptiness of human existence in the form of a frisky boudoir comedy.

Product Description:
SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT is an enchanting comedy of manners with a satirical edge. Set on a country estate at the turn of the century, it features eight people, including an actress, a sophisticated aristocratic couple, a lawyer and his virginal wife, and a spirited young maid who, during the course of one evening, change partners several times and engage in multiple romantic trysts. Full of subtle eroticism and wit, Ingmar Bergman's romance proposes that falling in love (or lust) beyond the parameters of social convention is not only unavoidable at times but it might even be the key to personal happiness.
