Film review: Bergman Island is a slow-burning exploration of a relationship fraying at the seams
Vicky Krieps and Tim Roth star as Chris and Tony
★★★★☆
Bergman Island (15A) stars Vicky Krieps and Tim Roth as Chris and Tony, a married couple who go on a retreat to the idyllic Baltic island of Fårö to work on their respective screenwriting projects. It’s a bold move: Chris and Tony aren’t just tempting fate by attempting to write on the island where the great Swedish director Ingmar Bergman made his home, and where he shot several of his films, they’re also staying in the very house where Bergman shot , the film ‘which caused millions of people to get divorced'.
