Beginning with the romance between a grocery store worker, Monika (Harriet Andersson) and shy delivery boy, Harry (Lars Ekborg), Summer with Monika’s title describes the months the couple spend powerboating around a sunny Swedish archipelago before the walls of domestic life close in. Bergman’s rich and contemplative film traces the maturation of youth to adulthood, as summer turns to winter, and infatuation transfigures into something altogether more complex.
