Playing Nov 9 & 10 Monika Dir. Ingmar Bergman Sweeden 1953 This early masterpiece about the courtship and marriage between a naive boy and a girl yearning for love is viewed as one of the greatest of Bergman’s early films. Harriet Andersson’s shimmering performance as Monika, along with Bergman’s masterful direction and the film’s innovative eroticism, had a profound effect on the French New Wave. The uninhibited view of nudity was so groundbreaking for the uptight 50’s that when it was originally shown in the U.S. it was peddled as a sexploitation flick. The stark, poignant portrayal of an idealistic summer love and the challenges it faces when the pressures of the outside world inevitably intrude is an example of the transformative power of art.
