Product Information
A LESSON IN LOVE is a rather surprisingly racy and liberal movie about marital infidelity and its consequences. Once again (as in Ingmar Bergman's comedy-drama SECRETS OF WOMEN), Eva Dahlbeck and Gunnar Björnstrand play a married couple experiencing a difficult phase in their relationship. Björnstrand is Dr. David Erneman, a gynecologist who begins an affair with a young patient to escape the doldrums of his everyday life. His wife, Marianne, learns of his transgression and subsequently embarks on an affair of her own, with her former lover Carl-Adam (Ĺke Grönberg), who also happens to be David's best friend. An unexpected encounter on a train gives the couple a chance to reconsider their actions, sort out their emotions, and possibly make amends. This comedy has been much praised for its warmth and upbeat character--in stark contrast to the way Bergman's work is usually perceived--and has even been compared to Hollywood's great star-driven romantic comedies of the era.Product Identifiers
