Just in time for the summer weather preview, Criterion offers up two summer-themed films from Sweden, made by Ingmar Bergman just before his breakthrough in the 1950s: Summer Interlude (1951), and Summer With Monika (1952). I still haven't seen the former title (described by Jean-Luc Godard as "the most beautiful of films"), but fondly recall watching Summer With Monika many years ago- it remains one of his finest achievements.

And from the arthouse, we go to the grindhouse, with a fistful of new releases by Redemption, all of French horror director Jean Rollin: Rape of a Vampire (1968), Requiem For a Vampire (1971) and The Demoniacs (1974). These extended edition disks are a must for fans of the director, or Euro-genre films in general.
