...lapses of subtlety in the direction find some counterparts in the acting, which American audiences may find a bit intense. This is particularly true of the brooding presence of Miss Julie's mother, a Strindbergian woman who drives her husband to ruin and warps here daughter's mind. Ulf Palme is convincing, however, as Miss Julie's seducer, and Anita Bjork's Miss Julie is superb, alternately imperious and pitiful as the events of the Midsummer Eve drive her to suicide. Her beauty and performance alone are well worth a trip to the Brattle. R.E. OLDENBURG
