Fact and fiction dance an elegant waltz in Mia Hansen-Løve’s bittersweet Ingmar Bergman-inspired relationships drama. Filmmakers Tony (Tim Roth) and Chris (Vicky Krieps) arrive on Fårö, the beautiful island where Bergman lived. It’s an idyllic place to work on their next projects.
Bergman’s presence is felt everywhere and seems to seep into their lives, especially when Chris encounters difficulties resolving her story of former lovers Amy (Mia Wasikowska) and Joseph (Anders Danielsen Lie), who are reunited on the island when they attend a friend’s wedding.
