Tff: Bergman Island, two directors between reality and imagination

(ANSA) – TURIN, NOV 28 – BERGMAN ISLAND by Mia Hansen-Love – already in competition at Cannes, now at the Turin Film Festival and in cinemas from 7 December with Teodora – is a film exquisitely suspended between reality, imagination and feelings. And it could not be otherwise in a work starring an American couple who retires to Farö to write a film and then find themselves dealing with the cumbersome myth of Ingmar Bergman.

This work with a rarefied structure, just like the light of the island, has two filmmakers (played by Tim Roth and Vicky Krieps) who arrived on the island where Bergman lived and died and shot scenes in films such as PERSONA, LA ANNA’S PASSION, and WEDDING SCENES, take a house to write their next projects.

But here, between visits to the sacred places of the Swedish director who believed more in ghosts than in people and loved the visionary Strindberg, the couple’s relationship inevitably changes and the characters evoked by the filmmaker at a certain point come to life, contaminating reality.
