Kvinnodröm

Naisten unelmia. SE 1955. PC: Sandrews. P: Rune Waldekranz. D+SC: Ingmar Bergman. DP: Hilding Bladh. Starring Eva Dahlbeck (Susanne), Harriet Andersson (Doris), Gunnar Björnstrand (consul Sönderby), Ulf Palme (Henrik Lobelius). 87 min. A vintage print with Finnish subtitles by Aito Mäkinen. Viewed at Cinema Orion, Helsinki, 29 May 2008. - Beautiful definition of light. - This is one of the small films of Bergman, yet with big themes and motifs (mirrors, smoke, the wound, the wolf). Bach's Sarabande. The visually sharp film has a memorable train sequence.
