"Käre John" had its premiere when I was a school boy. I remember much talk about its nude scenes. Sweden was renowned for that kind in those days. That made me never want to see the film. I'm glad I didn't, not even when I was 15 and could. I'm glad because I was too unexperienced to understand the love story. To-day the film would be allowed to all ages here (but is - of course - of no interest to too young ones), the nude scenes are nothing but perfectly natural settings.
I'm surprised over how modern the whole film seems: the actors act naturally - not theatrically (and very good), the script is just as good. Most notable is the odd jumping to and fro in the chronology of the story. That must have been much before the time the film was set in, 1964.
In short: a good depiction of a simple story we all can recognize ourselves in.
