Summer Interlude (1950) [Short]

Sweden (MIFF1954,Films Of Arne Sucksdorff)
Director: Arne Sucksdorff

The lives of the inhabitants of a Swedish seaboard village that becomes a resort in summer are contrasted with those of visitors. The atmosphere of a little fishing village is beautifully caught, the impact of trippers on it equally well described. The film has all the best of Sucksdorff's qualities - a strong pictorial style, human observation, and a simple flowing narrative.
