Summer with Monika Comments

    Now to appreciate [Monica], you must probably proceed from the perspective of historicism. The influence of Italian neo-realism on the early Bergman is very obvious. Now this set is not very useful. In addition, the film itself is too small. The most beautiful part of summer is naturally the nostalgia for summer afterwards. This obvious theme makes its influence. Power can only be limited to the time. However, the film does show Bergman’s future. In the second half, we suddenly realized how...

    I was angry with the girl, but after another thought, she was only 18 years old. The facial close-ups of the two heroes and heroines are the highlight moments. Thinking of those young and loving times are always gone forever. It's very sad. (Bergman himself did the pre-filming...

    Not out of date, great. Bergman photographed wild and unruly girls, the two loves and ears in love, and also the embarrassment of "After Nora is gone" and the summer of freedom that has never been seen before. Also filmed "a chicken feather in the same place" and "poor and lowly couples are sad". Is Monica a bad girl? Maybe in the world, but she also cried for the movie. I think her pure moment is better than many people's dirty...

    She is casual, aggressive, rebellious, and cynical. She is Monica, the "light" written by Milan Kundera. She dedicated the most beautiful ketone body to the lens, and was also recorded the most embarrassing appearance by the lens. The boat that sailed out of the town reluctantly drove back. Freedom brings not happiness but greater embarrassment. "Why are some people so lucky, but some people are always unlucky?" Monica looked at the camera for a long time, but couldn't see the dream...

    Clear, clean, pure and innocent, close to French New Wave movies. The two-person world in Chuanwan reminds me of Zhou Bangyan's poetic realm: "Xiaoqi Qingzhou, dreams of Furongpu". Anderson gave the performance of staring at the audience for the first time in film history. His eyes moved to the outside of the screen. The face and eyes were surrounded by light and shadow, Bergman's master of imaging. Monica who grows naturally, she wants agile love, not a restrained...

    [Summer with Monica] is not pure realism, it is a film text that Bergman has moralized and allegorized as a moral leader and finally surpasses realism. Through this tragedy Bergman guides the audience not to repeat the mistakes of the people in the film. Superstition in luck, indulging in dreams, will eventually usher in his own tragedy. Many shots are reminiscent of later...

    Excellent, clear, sexy, lively, suitable for movement and quietness, the location of the sea and the island is too beautiful, the easiest to understand, the freshest Bergman, a kind of youth film. When they are in love, they are beautiful young girls, handsome young men, attractive ketone bodies in estrus, burning desperately. They are irrational animals when they are hungry. After marriage, they are a proletariat with nothing. If they can live on an isolated island all their lives and become...
