Bergman Island

Friday, October 15
Full audience screening: 6:30 PM
Half capacity, socially-distanced screening: 9:00 PM
Mia Hansen-Løve | France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden | 2021 | 112m
with Vicky Krieps, Tim Roth

A filmmaking couple Chris (Vicky Krieps) and Tony (Tim Roth) retreat to the island of Fårö for the summer. In this wild, breathtaking landscape where Bergman lived and shot some of his most celebrated pieces, they hope to find inspiration for their upcoming films. As days spent separately pass by, the fascination for the island affects Chris and memories of her first love resurface. Lines between reality and fiction progressively blur and tear the couple even more apart.

"Bergman Island is a heart-stoppingly poignant stunner." -David Ehrlich, IndieWire

"Hansen-Løve is one of the keenest observers of friendship and intimacy, and Bergman Island is no exception, sensitively portraying a relationship that has burned down to its last embers." -David Sims, The Atlantic

"Lit from within by Vicky Krieps' luminous performance, Bergman Island glows with passion for life, love, creativity, and yes, Bergman." -Lee Jutton, Film Inquiry
