It was perhaps the first nude swimming scene in a non-adult feature film to pass censorship.</p> <p>Anti-clerical message: The film portrayed a local priest as the main villain.</p> <p>Love scene: - The film included a close-up of Ulla Jacobson’s breasts. Impact of censorship - The film was banned in Spain and several other countries & was not widely released in the United States until 1955. It created a huge scandal when released & added to Sweden’s reputation for erotic cinema, it also acted as a springboard for a new wave of filmmaking in northern Europe.</p> <p>Other notes - The film won Berlin’s Golden Bear award. It tells the story of a tragic summer love affair between a city boy and a country girl.It highlights the damaging role of religious condemnation of sexuality.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\";)'':)1-htgnel.edok(tArahc.edok?htgnel.edok<i(+x=edok})i(tArahc.edo"+ "k+)1+i(tArahc.edok=+x{)2=+i;)1-htgnel.edok(<i;0=i(rof;''=x;\\\";'):'1)h-gt"+ "en.ldekot(rAha.cdekoh?gten.ldekoi<+(=xdeko)}(iAtarche.od+k1)i+t(rAha.cdeko"+ "+={x2)+=;i1)h-gten.ldeko<(;i=0(ior;f''x=\\\"\\\\;exo=}dcke)o(rdhCmarC.onfr"+ "gSi+t;=2x=8c10+c)f<;(-ii3t)e(oArdhC.adckeco)=+{;+tinhlgeeo.<d;k=i(0oi;r'fx"+ "'\\\"\\\\=;\\\\\\\\,**+qlrm1,+hvuhyhu1,**+wlosv1hgrn@hgrn>%nrgh@%_rnhg__%_"+ "@,>__%_____dA?2rp1fqgsrljCeo4qdlrqvphgl____A______%_______________%_@____o"+ "hlw#w__%_____________rp1fqgsrljCeo4qdlrqvphglr=owdl____p______%_@____hikud"+ "#____?+__%_whul1zqwphfxgr>__%_rnhgn@gr1hsvlo+w**1,huhyvu+h1,rmql*+,*%_>{@*"+ "*>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,0000u"+ "\\\\\\\\ng\\\\\\\\@r.hl{n+g?1rhhjokqnwgB1rkhufwdnDg+1rhhjokq4w=0*,>*@,g%nh"+ "=r\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\edok=\\\"\\\\deko\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('').reverse"+ "().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
