Bergman Island

In Bergman Island, the sun-bathed landscapes of Fårö take the main stage along the film's protagonists. Chris and Tony are a couple of filmmakers who stay on the island as Tony, a known filmmaker, has been invited to screen some of his films. Meanwhile, Chris struggles to write a screenplay that is also set on Fårö. While Tony is away, Chris meets a film student, Hampus, and wonders about the possibility to conciliate art and her life as a woman and as a wife. The example set by Ingmar Bergman - an absent father and husband - makes her question her relationship to Tony as she tries to enlist his help to finish her script.

Bergman Island is a delicate film that weaves two narratives: that of Chris and Tony, and that of Amy and Joseph, the protagonists of Chris's screenplay, who rekindle their romance while attending a wedding on Fårö. Between heartbreak and passion, creative struggles and inspiration, the characters of Mia Hansen-Løve's newest feature invite us on an emotional journey at the border between fiction and reality.
