Bergman Island (2021)
A Love Letter to Ingmar Bergman
Starring Tim Roth, Vicky Krieps, Mia Wasikowska and Anders Danielsen Lie, "Bergman Island" tells the story of two filmmakers who retreat to the Swedish island of Fårö for the summer to write screenplays for their upcoming films.
Reality and fiction start to blur. The motion picture seamlessly weaves together two storylines which eventually blend together against the backdrop of the iconic island landscape.
Human relationships and art are at the center of this film. It is also a love letter to Ingmar Bergman and his oeuvre.
Benedetta (2021)
Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy
Based on a non-fiction book by Judith C. Brown, "Benedetta" is the latest motion picture from Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven. It focuses on the years in which Benedetta rose to the summit of the Theatine convent in Tuscany, Italy.
In the film, premiering at 2021 Cannes Film Festival, nuns play power games against each other in 17th-century Italy. Featuring powerful cinematography with religious, erotic, blasphemous, sexual and violent scenes, this film is sure to get attention worldwide with its sexual intrigue, emotional intensity and unexpected moments.
Fantastic performances from Virginie Efira as the titular nun, Daphne Patakia as the vulnerable peasant girl Bartolomea, Charlotte Rampling as the Mother Superior Felicita and Louise Chevillotte, as her daughter Christina, along with Lambert Wilson, Hervé Pierre and Olivier Rabourdin.
