Editorial Reviews

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player.

All These Women concerns the sexual misadventures of cello-playing Jarl Kulle. Amidst his many romantic pursuits, the egotistical Kulle endeavors to get his life story published, "bribing" a writer by agreeing to perform the latter's musical compositions. Bergman regulars Eva Dahlbeck, Harriet Andersson and Bibi Andersson costar in All These Women, while the screenplay was cowritten by another stalwart member of the director's stock company, Erland Josephson. Originally titled For Att Inte Talla om alla dessa Kvindor, All These Women is better known in English-speaking countries as Now About All These Women. ...All These Women ( För att inte tala om alla dessa kvinnor ) ( Now About These Women )

2.0 out of 5 stars All These Women Did Not Save It, April 15, 2007

This review is from: All These Women [PAL Import] (DVD)

I never thought that I would have to say that but I did not like the Ingmar Bergman's film "All These Women". In spite the very pretty and delicate pink and blue cinematography and the presence of the charming and talented actresses, the movie was a mess of an attempt to create a comedy. Everything that was subtle, sensual, and charming in B/W "Smiles of a Summer Night" (1955) was missing here. First of all - the Jarl Kulle's performance as a music critic - biographer, Cornelius. Kulle was very effective and funny in "Smiles...", in "Women..." - he plays an irritating, annoying, and the worst - absolutely not funny (which is a crime for a comedy) character. If in "Smiles... the writing was a first class and sparkled, I got the impression that in "Women.." Bergman did not care or did not want to work on the script and was more interested in experimenting with colors and music. The movie looks and sounds fine - it is Bergman, after all, but that's the only redeeming qualities that I found.

3.0 out of 5 stars INGMAR BERGMAN, OPUS 26, July 16, 2008

This review is from: All These Women [PAL Import] (DVD)

*** 1964. Written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. A music critic tries in vain to meet a famous cellist in order to complete the biography he's writing about him. Strange comedy of the Swedish master who was aiming at teasing the people who gravitated around himself. ALL THESE WOMEN was also the first film in color of Bergman and was photographed by Sven Nykvist. Let's admit it, I didn't laugh a lot and I almost fell asleep ten minutes before the end of the movie. Nevertheless, Ingmar Bergman's faithful fans will appreciate to see Eva Dahlbeck, Bibi Andersson and Harriet Andersson playing unusual parts. A DVD zone curiosities.

This review is from: All These Women ( För att inte tala om alla dessa kvinnor ) ( Now About These Women ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - United Kingdom ] (DVD)

This lovable and caustic film is told through a narrative ellipsis with Felix a famous cellist, who rests forever in his grave, visited for the last time by every one of his lovers. Since this rhapsodic entrance, we will be conveyed four days ago his death in order to find out and be aware the prelude of the end.

"All these women" is the first film of this genial director released in colour. And certainly it couldn't be better appropriated. In this occasion Bergman presents us a marvellous and acidic gaze around the feminine universe around the figure of a famous cellist, loved and admired by seven women. This renowned artist lives isolated in a superb mansion and receives the visit of well known journalist (Cornelius) who pretends to write his biography.

With all these elements in stage we will witness a series of demolishing vignettes around the human condition, the way in which every one of his mistresses reacts, loves and thinks, until Cornelius finds out a letter that preludes the unerring finale.

Watching it carefully you will find interesting clues that will lead us to conclude that Truffaut's The man who loved the women" and Fellini "City of women" are indeed, distinguished and heartfelt homage to this singular comedy according the great theatrical tradition of the XVII century.
