#HarrietAndersson's youthful energy & insatiability for life is infectious. So that's why that Monika staring into camera scene near the end is so chilling. She was slightly manipulative as any young pretty girls are, but there is something more pernicious in her eyes now. Her innocence & youthfulness is gone. Harry, now a regular boob, pines for that glorious summer days. Bergman paints realistic picture of a summer fling & its aftermath. It burns! #ingmarbergman #swedishcinema
