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.

    [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...
