Andersson’s clear eyed, tender, profoundly balanced and deeply affecting debut feature about the trials and tribulations of first love, the restrictions of bourgeois society and the bittersweet nature of being young is a fascinating aesthetic and thematic outlier in his filmography.
Made when Andersson was just 27, the film won multiple awards after its premiere at the 1970 Berlinale. Selected as Sweden’s entry into the 43rd Academy Awards, it is now widely regarded as one of the greatest Swedish films ever made.
