Summer Interlude

(Sommarlek)
C+: 3 stars (out of 5)
1951 | Sweden | 96 min | More...

Maj-Britt Nilsson plays a dancer reflecting on a coming-of-age summer romance with Birger Malmsten. A small, quiet film buoyed by fearless performances, beautiful cinematography, and a script that conveys the joy of young love without feeling reductive. The ending underwhelmed, but I respect the choice.
