Review of Bergman Island (2021) by Dawdlingpoet — 24 Jul 2022

This is quite a solid, thoughtful film, with a real holiday/escapist feel to it. I liked the main performances and I liked that its essentially a story within a story, with the lady telling her idea for a potential film, to her husband, who is a successful director.

I liked that it has a laidback feel, almost like the TV series (or film, if your in the US and saw the theatrical version) of the 'The Trip' series with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. I enjoyed this and would certainly recommend it, especially if your a fan of Bergman's work, as while this isn't all about Bergman per se, it may interest fans for the various inevitable Bergman references.
