What to expect
This is an inviting route into Bergman through social comedy. The women’s manoeuvres expose male vanity without requiring the viewer to approach the film as a philosophical puzzle.
How to ease in
Establish who wants whom before trying to predict the pairings. Listen for the difference between a confident speech and its practical effect.
For viewers who enjoy verbal sparring and tangled romantic ensembles.
Less suitable for a straightforward love story.
Heads-up
Infidelity, sexual innuendo and humiliation drive the humour. Its elegance should not be mistaken for innocent romance.
