summer interlude is a fascinating film about the concept of death.
throughout the film the characters and the film itself qeustion what death is or how we are suppose to think about it.in the 3rd act, henriks dies which is a pretty hard thing for marie to swallow.
it doesn't entirely feel focused on its ideas on death but thats also because i myself don't entirely get it.
hendriks death leaves marie wandering back to where she began and maybe thats whats bergman is trying to tell, that we lock ourselves up in familiar places after someone's death.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A melancholic meditation on first love and loss, told through a dancer's fragmented memories of a summer romance that shaped the rest of her life. Bergman's intimate direction transforms what could be simple nostalgia into something achingly tender and deeply contemplative.
