Screen Share | Films that capture the exhilaration of escape

This column, thus, represents an effort to turn things around, to recommend movies and shows on our own terms. To kick things off in the muggy end of June, I write on films about escape. One of the great films with summer in its title is Ingmar Bergman’s Summer with Monika (1953). In the film, Monika, the eponymous heroine played by Harriet Andersson, falls for Harry, a dreamy young lad who toils in a factory. From The Hindu cinema team, a fortnightly column recommending films and shows tied to a mood, theme, or pop cultural event.
