  Cinematic Time Capsule
  1940 Marathon - Film #91

  Don’t be scared.
  She’s not as sinful as she implies.

  Ingrid Bergman’s last Swedish film before moving to America. She plays a young woman who’s been shot and wounded by her ex-lover. Hounded by publicity, she changes her name, leaves town and moves into a boarding house of women who all have romantic entanglements of their own.

  It’s s pretty talkative romantic drama, but Bergman is so beautiful and enchanting that she makes it watchable, and of course there’s worse things in life than the chance to spend 90 minutes with her.

  Do you know the worst thing in life?
  It’s wanting to give, when the other person won’t accept.

  Seeing Ingrid Bergman acting in a movie is enough for me to make me happy.

  Review by Zoë 🐝 ★★ 1

  There's a nice through line of female friendship in June Night but it's bogged down by unlikable romantic plots that rely on romanticization of stalking and abuse.

  As much as I love melodrama, I’d never shoot Ingrid Bergman.

  Review by DungeonSkramz ★★

  Really wouldn't surprise me if they made this film just for the sake of putting Bergman in it, cause everything else here came across as secondary since profiting off her name was the main priority.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I thought I was going to hate this movie, because I read a few reviews that made it out to be sexist. But while this film was released in 1940, and can’t help but reflect the social mores and attitudes of its time, it still manages to portray our protagonist sympathetically and without judgment, which is more than I can say about a lot of movies about women. 

  Of course, the whole “femme fatale drives a man crazy with jealousy so he ends up shooting her - why did she toy with his heart?” angle at the beginning is fucking obnoxious. Fortunately, the filmmakers don’t appear to share this view; it’s presented more as a judgment call by society, like…

  From Criterion comes more early career work from Ingrid Bergman. It is directed & co-written by Per Lindberg.

  "A hell of an interesting face."

  My once and forever queen Ingrid is luminous here. Her presence is so beyond the boundaries of this film.

  I do always love to see her working in Swedish though. 💞

  Some assorted quotes, because I loved the apartment full of women trying to live their lives:

  "You're 19, and you've worked all day. You don't have time for hate at this time of the night."

  "I told you I don't want to be petty. But it appears to be difficult."

  "You behave like a creep, you'll be treated like a creep."
