About this movie

Two adolescents meet and cautiously fall in love at the peak of an idyllic Swedish summer. Oblivious to social boundaries, they innocently create their own milieu in contrast to the distorted relationships and disillusionment of the adult world around them. Beautifully shot by Elvira Madigan cinematographer Jorgen Persson, Roy Andersson's debut feature drew favourable comparisons with the work of the great Ingmar Bergman.
