Movies Watched -- Summer with Monika (1953)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In Swedish. 97 minute running time so not overly long, though it felt pretty long, there’s not much dialogue (23 page script) … Ingmar Bergman movie, his first with Harriet Andersson … middle class boy and working class girl fall in love and quit their dead-end jobs and spend the summer boating around the Stockholm archipelago, but she gets pregnant and they have to go back to reality as autumn approaches … spoilers: she eventually leaves him and he’s stuck with the baby … this is not a feel-good movie. I didn’t hate it, but I also wouldn’t recommend it. I’ll have to figure out which of Bergman’s movies to include on my Top movies list … this one probably isn’t it. John Farr recommended it despite it being a heterosexual love story.

Out with hussies, no doubt. Like that slut at the grocery store.
