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

    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
