Bergman tells the harshly moving story of two lovers and the severe events that disrupt their lives with a stark simplicity that only a master of cinema can accomplish. Because of the nude footage never intended for the original, Monika was pushed as a sexploitation film in the U.S. during its initial release. Bergman has said that Harriet Andersson “radiated more uninhibited erotic charm” than any other actress in Swedish cinema.
