Swedish summer taste

Although the theater is dark and a bit boring, the movie still makes me feel the smell of Swedish summer rushing over my face. The romantic love of thirteen and four minors is too tempting and cute. In the MK2 theater, except for us, all of us are intellectuals over forty years old, and the voice of smiles is also frequently heard.

The panoramic lens of the film is used a lot, the landscape is beautiful, and the girl is even more beautiful. The skin and blonde hair that have been greeted by the hot summer seem to be plated with light, and they are all scorching. Although the boy is not handsome, he is clumsy and cute. The freedom and admiration of this other world and another era actually allowed me to find the teenage years in the high-pressure education of Confucianism and Marxism-Leninism at that time. There is always a kind of sexual connection between people.
The film uses simultaneous recording, which has a natural sense of reality and a somewhat rough sense of the times. In addition, I really like the director's music application method, no more, no less, good-sounding and sincere. At that time, I wanted to find the original soundtrack later, but now I want to listen to it in another way. I'm afraid it's another taste.
I feel that the rhythm of the movie is very changeable, but I have no problem. After reading the first part, I feel sweet and I don’t want to admit my sorrow. After reading the latter part, I have to admit it-the mediocrity of the adult world makes the lives of minors so shining, but do they have to be special? ? They will also become parents, and the beauty and innocence always seem to have to be lost. There is no need to pretend to be deep and pretending to be sad (this kind of "pretending" is something that most Asian movies cannot discard), and a pure love story to this degree is also deep and sad enough.

I really like the last part and the ending, including the environment, plot, camera, and dialogue. Reminds me of Eastern European movies.

In fact, until I walked out of the theater, I only sighed why the setting and music of this film from the 1960s and 1970s were so perfect. Later I learned that the film was originally shot in 1969, but it was 39 years waiting for the French release. This is Roy Andersson’s debut at the age of 27. At that time, for some reason, he was not successful, so that the director was discouraged and switched to commercials. Fortunately, he regained his old love again, but unfortunately I never saw it afterwards. Although it is said that this movie is very different from his later films, his naturalistic style that Bergman has influenced is already evident in this one.
