Bra approach till svensk realism och skildring av det ”riktiga” svenska folket i kontrast till vad Bergman gjorde under denna period. En inspirerande berättelse om en frigjord självständig svensk ung kvinna. Fotografit var fenomenalt! Klippningen kändes i delar inkonsekvent, oklara val av längd i vissa tagningar där jag ibland önskat att de visats längre och ibland att de inte varit med alls. Tidsförloppet är lite oklart vilket fick mig att ibland förlora greppet om berättelsen vilket ju framförallt kändes negativt men ändå lite positivt eftersom det lät mig hypnotiseras av fotot.
Liten sidenote men fan va fina svenska butiksskyltar var vid denna tiden. Vem i helvete bestämde att de skulle bli minimalistiska och tråkiga???

Pretty good camera work and look that is probably the most interesting part of this otherwise boring film

Lovely and heartfelt little film. Perfectly blends romance and melancholy to create a bittersweet nostalgic feeling that reminds me of 1970s counterculture character pieces like Harold and Maude or the 2000s indie twee aesthetic that they inspired.
Sweden, in its predictable liberal democratic socialist fashion, brings the major contentions of the burgeoning 2nd wave of feminism onto the screen about a decade before Hollywood caught up and started making female-centered movies openly addressing women's concerns.
The acknowledgment of 'nice guy' intellectuals just being a sneakier more insidious variation of the typical exploitative deadbeat misogynist patriarch as the fuckboi rock singer feels especially astute and prescient. Swap the Vivaldi record listening session for The Smiths and that whole section of the film could be set today.
