Introduction
Bergman Island, a heartbreaking and heartbreaking love story, written and directed by Mia Hansen-Løve, has just received a new trailer from IFC Films. The film, starring Vicky Krieps and Tim Roth, selected at the Cannes, Telluride, and Toronto International Film Festivals, will be screened in theaters and on VOD on October 15.
Bergman Island, named after legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, follows a pair of filmmakers fleeing Writer’s Block to the picturesque island of Frö off the Swedish coast, where Bergman lived and made many of his films, including characters and scenes from a marriage.
The two hope to be inspired by the windy landscape, but when Chris (Krieps) spends time alone, she realizes how much luggage you have to carry with you as a writer who is also a mother and wife. The lines between reality and fiction slowly begin to blur as she begins a script that reflects her relationship with her husband and she draws them away from him as she becomes her own strength as a filmmaker.
The film, in which Mia Wasikowska and Anders Danielsen Lie also play Chris’s fictional partner, is as colorful as any Bergman film, not only with the pain of a strained relationship, but also with the feminist foundations of a woman. . The fascination with the island of Fårö will delight viewers of Bergman Island, as well as the protagonists of the film, and will make them wonder where the line is between reality and fiction.
