Description
On a Summer’s eve at the turn-of-the-century, love runs amuck at a country estate for a group of criss-crossed lovers. The typically serious Bergman weaves a comic tale of romantic entanglement, worthy of Shakespeare. “There is an abundance of passion here, but none of it reckless; the characters consider the moral weight of their actions, and while not reluctant to misbehave, feel a need to explain, if only to themselves.” - Roger Ebert
