Directed by Ingmar Bergman

Inspired by the earthy eroticism of actress Harriet Andersson, in the first of her many roles for him, Bergman created a work of stunning maturity with this sensual tale of young love. A girl (Andersson) and boy (Lars Ekborg) from working-class families in Stockholm run away from home to spend a secluded, romantic summer at the beach. Inevitably, it is not long before the pair are forced to return to reality. The version initially released in the U.S. was reedited by its distributor into something more salacious, but this original version of Summer with Monika stands as one of Bergman’s most important films. 1953, Sweden, DCP, in Swedish with English subtitles, 97 minutes. Recommended for 16+.
