Secrets of Women
(Kvinnors väntan)

Screening on Film

Directed by Ingmar Bergman.
With Anita Bjork, Karl Arne Holmsten, Jarl Kulle.
Sweden, 1952, 35mm, black & white, 107 min.
Swedish with English subtitles.

In his first comic piece, Bergman produced a saucy film with remarkable wit: three of a group of four sisters-in-law discuss their marriages and affairs as they await their husbands. Told in three long flashbacks, the style ascends from a certain realism to illusory expressionism to slapstick comedy.
