Name: Siska
Genre: Drama
Released: 1962-12-26
Duration: 1 h 16 min
Rating: 5.2
Cast: Harriet Andersson, Lars Ekborg, Mona Malm

This movie about a female gynecologist meeting a soldier on the subway is worth seeing more for the actors and beautiful b/w photography then for the story. It reunites Harriet Andersson and Lars Ekborg a decade after their memorable summer together. Many people connected to 'the Ingmar' were involved. Father and son Fischer did cinematography and photo. Lots of close up shots of ms Andersson should please her American admirers. The whole film focuses, Bergman style, more on moods and emotions than on story or character development. Lots of closeups of interesting faces. There is some witty dialog. Music by Swedish jazz legend Jan Johansson, his first score. This was as far as I can tell Alf Kjellin's final effort in Sweden, and then he settled in Hollywood.

Swedish cinema is renowned for psychological depth, austere beauty, and philosophical inquiry. It often focuses on existential questions and societal critique, marked by a stark visual approach. In contemporary times, it has also developed a sharp satirical edge in examining social issues.
