An August Rhapsody

An August Rhapsody

19407 min

Arne Sucksdorff’s debut—made when he was 23— is a lyrical short about Sweden’s late-summer crayfish fishery: night-time trapping on water, daybreak on the shore, and the rhythms of August nature rendered in carefully composed images. Often grouped with This Land Is Full of Life as one of Sucksdorff’s “hymns to the Swedish summer,” the film distills a 24-hour cycle into a seven-minute nature rhapsody.

Tick an episode and the rest sorts itself out: what is waiting tonight, what airs tomorrow, what you abandoned two years ago. And under every episode, what other people made of it, without ever spoiling what comes next.
