Smiles of a Summer Night
:Description:Bergman carefully sets the stage for romantic intrigue in Smiles of a Summer Night, his brilliant breakthrough film. At a country estate in turn-of-the-century Sweden, eight characters become four couples during a long, languorous summer night. Under the spell of a mysterious elixir, the mismatched couples switch partners in an intricate roundelay that is both lyrical and erotic. One of the greatest tragicomedies of all time, Bergman's perceptive send-up of social rites and sexual mores was the inspiration for the Sondheim musical A Little Night Music and Woody Allen's A Midsummer ...

Zulu
: essential video:'Sentries have come in from the hill, sir.... They report Zulus to the southeast. Thousands of them.' One of the best pure action movies ever made, this rousing adventure recounts the true story of a small 18th-century regiment of British troops (including a very blue-blooded turn by a young Michael Caine) endlessly besieged by an seemingly unceasing number of fierce attackers. Although the basic premise has since been executed with more technical skill and panache (most notably by Aliens and Michael Mann's The Last of the Mohicans), it's unlikely ...

Smiles of a Summer Night
: :Ingmar Bergman achieved international stardom with this classic melancholy comedy about the romantic entanglements of three 19th-century couples during a weekend at a country estate. It's exactly what you'd expect from a bedroom farce filtered through the ideas and eyes of Bergman: sharp, serious, pensive, austerely sexy, and ultimately sobering. Still, anyone who thought the Swedish filmmaker was incapable of a little fun has only to watch Bergman's orchestrations of these dangerous liaisons. Prosperous lawyer Fredrik (Gunnar Björnstrand) is married to the comely young Anne (Ulla Jacobsson), who (despite his best ...
