Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
In hindsight, Summer Interlude looks and feels like a number of Bergman's subsequent (and arguably greater) films, but at the time, it must have seemed like something entirely new.

Q Network Film Desk
The sense of fate that descends over the drama is very much Bergman's own -- cruel, distant, ultimately imponderable.

Rating: 3/4 --
Bergman's grasp of the cinematic language is clear, and was honing his craft into something that would soon develop into something legendary.

[T]he craftsmanship, performances and biting observations stop it from teetering into bathos.

Its dark power derives from the tension between the adult woman at the movie's centre and the girl this woman remembers being.

Film Freak Central
...a breakthrough for Bergman: his first film built around a strong, assertive, sure woman and the first shot extensively on location, where the natural world becomes a defining reflection of the lives of his characters.

Bergman's trademarked brooding is tinged with a surprising hopefulness. Even if love can't last, there is still art, and that's not a bad consolation prize.

Product Description:
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 and a new suitor, the journalist David Nystrom (Alf Kjellin). 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.
