Bergman Island – 7

A dreamy travelogue through Ingmar Bergman’s island, Faro, and a screenwriter’s mind. Fortunately, she is played by Vicky Krieps (how the movie’s blurb could call her an “American” beats me) and in the movie-within-a-movie by Mia Wasikowska, both of whom lay out the uncertainties and difficulties of human relationships in full view. When you try to make sense of what’s happening you realize you can’t. If you need a movie that makes sense, this isn’t for you. But if you believe a dreamy travelogue with stilted acting and a nonsensical ending can qualify as art, then this is a worthy topic of discussion.
