It Rains on Our Love

The romance between the two leads has an incredibly unconvincing start, although the chemistry is believable enough later on. The angel and devil characters are extremely obvious, yet Bergman felt it necessary to point it out in the ending dialogue. The humor in the movie is really goofy and rarely works, and the messages are too blunt. There is a pleasant sweetness to it, and the acting is pretty good. But it's too much like a Hollywood ripoff, there's little of Bergman's soul in it.

Chove em Nosso Amor estreava há 75 anos na Suécia. Não é um Bergman como conhecemos em seu auge, mas é um belo filme em que ele ainda preserva certo otimismo de juventude, apesar de todos os percalços pelo que passam os protagonistas há semre uma entidade a ajudá-los, mas todos sabemos que o tempo passa e esse tipo de otimismo simplesmente se esvai das nossas vidas como bem sempre representou o diretor nos seus filmes de maturidade. Box Coleção Ingmar Bergman Volume 8.

Ingmar Bergman's second directorial job. Social satire, almost cartoonish with its character and bad luck. I had a lot of fun with this one, even if a lot of it was of serious nature as well. There was just something about all the points scored both ways, and about the hopelessness and how it combined the super tragic with the amusing. I can understand the style not being everyone's fancy, but I found the approach fresh enough to really appreciate.

A sharp improvement on his first film, even if it's still wildly inconsistent. Like a Swedish "Little Man, What Now" where the looming threat isn't nazism but conformity. Court scene is the high point.
