Summer with Monika

sunny yet bleak. bergman and harriet andersson are here for all the joy and anxiety of being young, in love and full of conflicts.

Bergman muestra lo bien que se le dan los melodramas

Well said about the difference between marriage and just being a lover.

A young couple elopes during the summer but nothing lasts forever.

One of the best portrayal of teenage love. Doesn't romanticize nor condemns. Shows the reality.

A lovely film! I associate Andersson most strongly with the role of Monika. The theme of youth and maturity amid the seasons is wrenching!

Any "film buff" actively seeking this out will be glad they saw it but it's not easily recommendable to anyone.

What happens when teenagers think that they are adults ready to take care of their own sh*t

A rougher form of the tragic romances Bergman perfects later in his career. Still solid performances and ideas. Worth the watch.

Some tender affection, some deep poignancy, some nuanced bad choices. All empathetically treated in a very personal story. Deeply resonant.
