Phoenix Classics: Summer With Monika
Part of Phoenix's summer classic season. Inspired by the earthy eroticism of Harriet Andersson, in the first of many roles for him, Ingmar Bergman turned in this work of stunning maturity, a sensual and ravaging 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. Tender, sensuous, never judgmental, the film counterpoints its realistically sober ending with Monika’s calmly unrepentant gaze to the camera. Although Summer with Monika was initially quietly received, its reputation gathered steam throughout the 1950s, and it became an international sensation.Romance, DramaPT1H38MPG2025-06-15Harriet Andersson
