Summer with Monika Comments

    A minimalist Bergman film, without the obscure chords that followed him, but very moving, especially the shot of Monica turning around and looking at the camera, definitely one of the most powerful shots in film history, that is to the morals of the audience. A fearless response to questioning. It was also Bergman's own favorite film, but he kept going. Personally, I feel that the Darnay brothers' films have inherited the mantle of this film to some extent after many...

    Living and being lived are two completely different attitudes. Harry also longs to live, but as a man, his unavoidable need to be lived is, and this is something Monica can't stand. Such is Berman's pessimistic attitude from beginning to end, that the family politics of romantic swingers and tragic men of society must never breed...

    Harriet Andersson! The moment she looks directly at the audience through the camera lens in the cafe is a classic in film history. There's also a picture of Harry driving the dinghy and Monika lying on the front deck of the dinghy with her shirt open. There is also Monika's posture of wandering in the bedroom alone, disheveled. The necessary stages of growth for a girl who is loved and...

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] After being fed dog food for an hour, it finally ushered in an unexpected ending. The male protagonist is becoming mature, and Monica is not bad, but young and self-indulgent and unwilling to be restrained. The style of the two elopement is very romantic, even if they fight and steal, they are so fierce and just. Because of the splendid bloom of love, the flashback at the end of the film also makes people sigh with emotion. The stare of the male and female...

    Bad Girl Monica

    "The Bad Girl Monica" is a movie suitable for watching in summer, and the summer in time sequence is also a summer that never returns in the life of a couple. Lovers Monica and Halle fell in love in spring, fleeing wildly in summer, and when autumn slowly arrived, they returned to the secular...

    I'll die if I get addicted



      The beginning of the film is like the first half of the "Madman Pierrot". The 19-year-old Halle and the 17-year-old Monica meet and love each other. Then the two abandon their family and work, and leave the city in a small boat. The world wanders the coastline. They sing, dance, bask in the sun,...
