The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Smiles of a Summer Night? (1955) at East Dulwich Tavern on 18 August


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?Smiles of a Summer Night? (1955) at 8pm on Thursday, 18 August 2016, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.


An exquisite romantic comedy in which six individuals find love during an endless summer night.


One of cinema?s greatest erotic comedies, Smiles of a Summer Night ushered Bergman onto the international scene. A film about infidelity and desire set in the early 1900s, it centres around Fredrik Engerman (Gunnar Bjornstrand) a middle-aged lawyer whose 19 year old wife Anne (Ulla Jacobsson) refuses to consummate their marriage. He decides to confide in a former mistress, Desir?e (Eva Dahlbeck). Meanwhile Frederik?s son from his first marriage is in love with his stepmother. Over the course of an endless northern summer night, the feelings of the protagonists boil over into seduction, flirtation, deception and adultery. With an air of French farce the film is not entirely without elements of darkness so typical of Bergman, but these are transcended by the smiles of the title.


Director/Writer: Ingmar Bergman with Ulla Jacobsson, Eva Dahlbeck, Harriet Andersson, Gunnar Bjornstrand, Bibi Andersson

    • The one on Chesterfield was sold and they increased cost and some of their best staff left with the previous owner, hasn’t been the same since. Shame really
    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
