A couple retreat to the island that inspired Ingmar Bergman to write screenplays for their upcoming films when the lines between reality and fiction start to blur.

“Touches of humour (a novelty in the filmmaker’s career), impeccable actors and a direction of accomplished elegance (with superb photography from Denis Lenoir): Mia Hansen-Løve signs a quintessential work of her style all in finesse that will delight her followers.” – CineEuropa

““Bergman Island” is a heart-stoppingly poignant stunner all the same — one beating inside a body of work that has always been seasick with the bittersweet vertigo that comes from looking at the past through the smudged lens of memory and imagination.” – Indiewire
