Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review on the new filmmaker-on-filmmaker narrative film “Bergman Island” – the first English language film by Mia Hansen Løve – currently in select theaters, see local listings for theaters and show times.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
The setting is Faro Island off of Sweden, nicknamed Bergman Island because legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman once lived there. An American couple, Tony and Chris (Tim Roth and Vicky Krieps) are filmmakers, and they are retreating on the Island for inspiration. Chris tells Tony of a new idea she has for a film, and suddenly that film is playing out with the couple Amy and Joseph (Mia Wasikowska and Anders Danielsen Lie). There is a parallel to their story with the couple in reality, and the line begins to blur.

Every filmmaker keeps a couple of projects simmering on the back burner, the kind that can stay there for years until something heats them up. Mia Hansen-Løve had long wanted to write a script about two married film directors. She had personal insights, after all: she was married for 15 years to older French auteur Olivier Assayas, who first met her as a teenager when she acted in two of his films before going off to college and becoming a filmmaker (they had one child and divorced in 2017).
But her idea wasn’t going anywhere until Swedish auteur Ingmar Bergman died: Hansen-Løve just didn’t know that yet.
“I spend so much time with an idea of a film,” she told me backstage at the New York Film Festival, where her seventh feature film “Bergman Island” was warmly embraced, just as it was at Cannes earlier in the year. “It evolves...
