What Waiting Women Is About
Waiting Women (Kvinnors väntan), directed by Ingmar Bergman, is an early Swedish film about three sisters-in-law waiting for their husbands at a summer house, telling three interwoven stories about their marriages. The film's best known scene has a couple trapped in a stalled elevator, growing closer after confessing infidelities to each other, a comic sequence Bergman is known to have deliberately included to prove he could do comedy, and one he happily noted made full houses laugh. The film predates Bergman's later international breakthrough, which began with Smiles of a Summer Night in 1955, and belongs to his earlier body of work; it holds an 88 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. Who it's for: anyone curious about an early Bergman film featuring an elevator scene he deliberately included to prove his own comedic skill. Who it's not for: those wanting to compare it to the films that brought Bergman international fame, since this predates that breakthrough by years.
