Summer with Monika
Ingmar Bergman / SE, 1953 / 96 min.
Ingmar Bergman’s sensual, moving tale of first love. A teenager and her boyfriend run away from home and have a romantic summer on a remote beach until they are forced to return to cold reality. New digital restoration.
Ingmar Bergman’s first strong female character was the teenager Monika (Harriet Andersson in her first of many roles in Bergman’s films). She and her boyfriend have had enough of the limiting lives of working-class families in Stockholm. After watching a Hollywood film, they flee to an idyllic archipelago, where they experience a wave of freedom.
