Bergman Island
BERGMAN ISLAND follows a couple of American filmmakers, Chris (Vicky Krieps) and Tony (Tim Roth), who retreat to the mythical Fårö island for the summer. In this wild, breathtaking landscape where Bergman lived and shot his most celebrated pieces, they hope to find inspiration for their upcoming films. As days spent separately pass by, the fascination for the island operates on Chris and souvenirs of her first love resurface. Lines between reality and fiction will then progressively blur and tear our couple even more apart.
Wonderful @Damon B
Fantastic performances. A delight.
Women Perfect the Male Gaze @Veteran Sci Fi
The writer-director is a woman, the write- director in the movie within the movie, is a woman, and BOTH of them write perfectly through the male gaze. Is this intended to be ironic? Is it intend to be an idyllic respite from trying to write the divine feminine comedia? Is it surrender to the male gaze? If the irony isn't made clear, then it's a cliche, and ultimate boring and unsatisfying. Don't bother trying to figure it out.
