19 Wednesday: Film Forum Coronado screens “Sommeren Med Monika (Summer With Monika)” in the Winn Room at 6 p.m. Film expert Ralph de Lauro introduces the film and leads a discussion afterwards. Inspired by the earthy eroticism of Harriet Andersson, Ingmar Bergman turned out this sensual and ravaging tale of young love. A rebellious young girl and a conservative young boy from working-class families run away to spend a secluded romantic summer at the beach. It’s not long before they are forced to return to reality.
