Vicky Krieps ("Chris") and Tim Roth ("Tony") embark on a work trip to Fårö, the island known for Ingmar Bergman, who lived and filmed there while raising nine children with six different women. "Tony" is a successful filmmaker and an authority on Bergman's work; “Chris” is less experienced and feels somewhat apprehensive about both him and the location, though they each have screenplays to complete. His writing process goes more easily than hers, leading to a deliberately unhurried but pleasant dramatization. She explores the island, makes new acquaintances, and eventually develops her idea, sharing it with "Tony" and the viewers. This involves “Amy” (played with appealing fragility by Mia Wasikowska) and “Joseph” (Anders Danielsen Lie, who feels underwhelming—and rather irreverently wears underwear in a Swedish sauna!). Their story follows a familiar pattern of childhood affection, romance, separation, renewed love, and then further developments that bring them to a wedding. As the fictional narrative unfolds, the real-life couple also confronts personal challenges, revealing connections between her story and their own lives that are more profound than first impressions might suggest. The film is visually appealing, offers a respectful nod to Bergman’s style, and allows Roth and Krieps to perform naturally and with conviction. It doesn't rush, which I believe is intentional, and it stands in stark contrast to many of Bergman's somber films, offering a welcome brightness.
