Anthony [Tim Roth] and Chris [Vicky Krieps] are filmmakers with a passion for Ingmar Bergman who accept an invitation to a film festival on the island where the Swedish top filmmaker made his most famous films. As guests of honor, they can even stay in Bergman's house and hope to find inspiration there for a next film project. Their renewed acquaintance with Bergman's oeuvre and his cynical view of marriage puts their mutual relationship to the test. Hansen-Løve mixes reality and fiction as Chris tells the basic story for her next screenplay and the question arises to what extent the love story surrounding her characters Amy [Mia Wasikowska] and Joseph [Anders Daniels Lie] mirrors her own relationship with Anthony. A bit slow and not as intriguing as a Bergman film, but certainly not bad. Hampus Nordenson looks just like a young Stephen Merchant!

Somewhere in the beginning, Tony says something like "but it doesn't have to be Persona either." You don't have to have seen it to feel that the same applies to this film itself. For me at least it's all a bit too contrived, and the pretensions don't come out in the end. The main line of the story is still nicely told, but the film-within-the-film is too often sloppy - and that cannot be elegantly explained by the situation.
A bit interesting here and there because of the almost documentary-like tidbits about Bergman that you get, and Roth and Krieps are good in their roles. Wasikowska maybe, but the subplot is too thin to make something of it. Too bad, that feels like a missed opportunity. But it also ripples on pleasantly and it is nice to watch, the Danish summer produces beautiful images.

The film actually only comes to life when “the film within the film” (with Mia Wasikowska) starts. For that it is a quietly rippling story about filmmakers on the Swedish holiday island made famous by the great Swedish filmmaker, to whom the title refers. It produces nice pictures, but that's about it. Some more drama like in a Bergman movie would have been welcome.
