The storyline itself is simplistic and (mostly) predictable, with all key players interacting oh-so-tastefully with one another as they voice hoary dialogue (&#8220;A human being feels this happiness only once in their life&#8221;) while passionate classical music plays in the background. The movie is primarily of interest to film fanatics due to Bergman&#8217;s presence: it&#8217;s instantly clear why she was considered a cinematic gem worth cultivating. \u00c5ke Dahlqvist&#8217;s cinematography highlights her considerable beauty and vitality, making this a visually pleasant if overly genteel film to sit through.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ingrid Bergman as Anita<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-Bergman.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-Bergman.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-Bergman.png 480w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-Bergman-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-Bergman-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fine cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-1936-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-1936-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-1936-Cinematography.png 480w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-1936-Cinematography-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermezzo-1936-Cinematography-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo; this one will only be of interest to diehard Bergman fans (who will likely feel rewarded by a viewing).
