Harriet Andersson in Summer With Monika (Ingmar Bergman, 1953)

Cast: Harriet Andersson, Lars Ekborg, Dagmar Ebbeson, Åke Fridell, Naemi Briese, Åke Grönberg, Sigge Fürst. Screenplay: Ingmar Bergman, Per Anders Fogelström, based on a novel by Fogelström. Cinematography: Gunnar Fischer. Production design: P.A. Lundgren. Film editing: Tage Holmberg, Gösta Lewin. Music: Erik Nordgren.

This early Bergman film, coming before the trifecta of Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), The Seventh Seal (1957), and Wild Strawberries (1957) established his reputation as a director, got its first exposure in the United States in 1955 when an enterprising distributor purchased the rights, cut it by a third, and released it as Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl, with a publicity campaign centered on Harriet Andersson's nude scene. Swedish distributors were not above exploiting Andersson either, but Bergman's adaptation with Per Anders Fogelström of Fogelström's novel, is anything but a naughty sexcapade. It's a film about disaffected youth: Monika and Harry (Lars Ekborg) are in their late teens and trapped in boring jobs. Monika works at a produce store where she is sexually harassed by the male employees, and Harry, a packer and delivery boy in a store that deals in pottery and glassware, is constantly being scolded for being late and lazy. Harry wants to study to be an engineer, but he has to look after his father, who is an invalid. His mother died when he was 8, and he tells Monika that he has always felt alone. Monika is anything but alone: Her father is abusive and her mother barely tends to Monika's noisy young siblings. So when Harry's father goes into a hospital, Monika persuades Harry to run away with her. They steal his father's boat and sail away from Stockholm to the countryside, beautifully filmed by Gunnar Fischer. Their idyll is eventually cut short by their lack of money and Monika's pregnancy. The problem with the film is that a rather puritanical tone eventually seeps in, making Monika the focus of a moral condescension that Bergman would outgrow as his career progressed.

The Brig Three Lilies (1961)

My rating: 6/10

Pretty good fun, in an old fashioned "boy's own adventure" kind of way, and with some good solid emotional beats throughout.

Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow in Shame (Ingmar Bergman, 1968) Cast: Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand, Brigitta Valberg, Sigge Fürst, Hans Alfredson. Screenplay: Ingmar Bergman. Cinematography: Sven Nykvist. Production design: P.A. Lundgren. Film editor: Ulla Ryghe. One of Ingmar Bergman's bleakest and best films, Shame is unencumbered by the theological agon that makes many of his films tiresome (not to say irrelevant) for some of us. It's a fable about a couple, Eva (Liv Ullmann) and Jan (Max von Sydow), two musicians seeking to escape from a devastating war by exiling themselves to an island. At the start of the film their life is almost idyllic: Their radio and telephone don't work, so they remain in blissful ignorance of the problems of the world outside. He's a bit scattered and idle; she's practical and businesslike. They quarrel a little over their temperamental differences, but they have developed a self-sustaining life, raising chickens and cultivating vegetables in their greenhouse. But needless to say, no couple is an island: The war comes to them. When they take the ferry into town, selling crates of berries and stopping to drink wine with a friend who has just been drafted, they begin to be aware that the larger conflict will not remain at a distance for long. There will be no retreat for them into the simple life. Under the pressure of war, their relationship changes: Eva becomes more careless, Jan loses his passivity. In the end, desperate to flee the despoiled island, they join a group on a fishing boat heading for the mainland only to wind up in a dead calm -- a literal one, for they are stuck in a sea filled with corpses, an image that, because so much of the film is straightforward in narrative and imagery, manages to avoid the heavy-handedness that often afflicts Bergman's films. There is also, for Bergman, a surprising lack of specificity about the war in the film: There are no direct allusions to particular wars, such as World War II, the one that raged in his childhood, or to the war of the day in Vietnam -- there are no images of burning monks as in Persona (1966). The war of the film is generic -- soldiers, planes, trucks, and tanks lack insignia and the names and nationalities of the two sides are never mentioned. It's as if war is an ongoing condition of the human race.

Shame [Skammen] **** (1968, Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann, Gunnar Björnstrand, Sigge Fürst) – Classic Movie Review 4839

In writer/ director Ingmar Bergman’s bleak, starkly photographed (by the masterly cinematographer Sven Nykvist) 1968 futuristic war fable, a violinist couple (played by Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann) are embroiled in a civil war on the remote island of Gotland when invading forces arrive.

The great von Sydow impresses hugely, and so does Ullmann, in one of Bergman’s near-classics, both realistic…
