Stockholm Lifetime Achievement Award: Harriet Andersson
An icon of femininity - adolescent Monika, lounging on a sun-drenched rock, her unbuttoned cardigan draped below her shoulders, eyes closed – sensual, self-assured and true. The oft reproduced photograph is not only one of the quintessential images of 50’s cinema, but neatly captures the first steps in the international career of one of Sweden's finest screen actresses. Harriet Andersson – a remarkable performer, combining disciplined clarity and sensual naturalism.
