Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: More than 50 years after its first screening in America, Monika arrives in New York again to light up the screen, this time without a trace of impropriety.
Fresh: Bergman's tale of heedless teenage love is a sort of neorealist Rebel Without a Cause -- except that sex is acknowledged and the outlaw is a girl.
Fresh: Bergman would be no more adept a pornographer than he would be at filming hip-hop, but his camera did stare at the human surface with an intentness unmatched since von Sternberg rhapsodized over Marlene Dietrich.
Fresh: His first film with Andersson shows a developing ability to probe the psychology of a rich, vital woman without losing his objectivity.
Customer Reviews
Coming of Age for One
A young couple falls in love and have a summer adventure, but when winter approaches and things get rough, one grows up and the other doesn't. A sad, simple story that will move you, as only a Bergman film can.
