Last Couple Out

Anita (Harriet Andersson) and Bo Dahlin (Björn Bjelfvenstam) agree that all parents should be locked up. The critics did not appreciate the film’s portrayal of young people: ’This Ingmar Bergman’s misrepresentation of the Swedish youth of today has not benefited from Alf Sjöberg’s direction. Sjöberg has a paternalistic, unanswered, love of the Swedish youth of today. He knows nothing about it [...]’.

Bo (Björn Bjelfvenstam) comforts a sad schoolboy (Göran Lundquist). The boy’s parents are divorced, and at the weekend he will have to see his father whom he hates. Bo tries to cheer him up, pointing out that Monday is just around the corner.
