Movie Reviews of June Night
Movie Review: Subtitles
Summary: 5 Stars
June Night proves that smooth dialogue DOES have an existence. It's clever and very mature in its content, doesn't leave off and have the viewer wondering what it was they might have missed. So often the translation to English comes off as awkward, but not so with this film. It's a smart and emotionally engaging rendition. The words are laid out in a very clean white script for easy reading, (luckily not overly large) so the full picture is clearly visible (a minor pet peeve i have with certain foreign films).And, of course, the performances! Ingrid delivers a hard, knock-down portrayal of Kerstein, the mysterious, alluring girl around town. The supporting cast, Olof Widgren as the potential love interest, and the three lasses whom befriend Kerstein, only heighten the intrigue of Ingrids' character.
Per Lindberg is behind the directors chair on this one, and, despite June Night's slow pace (Per took his time), the movie unfurls as it was meant to. The pieces gently fall into your lap until you're left nodding in agreement. It all ends just as it should and you realize the ninety minutes went by much more quickly than you had previously thought.
It's a fine display of Bergman's talents and a rare foreign film treat. I happily recommend this.
Summary of June Night
A small town girl's violent past forces her to change her identity and flee to the big city. The move is far from idyllic as a host of complications threaten her new life and identity.
