A Midsummer Night's Play

1979 · 98 min
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Leth's television production of Sanct Hansaften-Spil by the Danish playwright Adam Oehlenshläger is an attempt to take the poetic play at face value and bring it to life in a series of tableaux with settings by Per Kirkeby and acted by a large number of celebrated actors and actresses. In other words, just as in the theatre, the attempt means making the words burst out of the narrow framework of the stage or tableau.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A Midsummer Night's Play is an acquired taste at 5.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1979. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
