Five conversations frame a flawed marriage in this film written by Ingmar Bergman about his parents. Guilt-ridden wife Anna (Pernilla August) divulges an extramarital affair to a priest, her uncle Jacob (Max von Sydow). He presses her to confess her sins to her husband, Henrik. As the film moves back and forth in time, the notion of truth is tested. Tomas, the lover, and Henrik will find that Anna’s confessions do not absolve anyone, and have the power to inflict more pain.

The post Richard Hobert – Ögat AKA The Eye (1998) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
A high-school dropout determines to transcend her troubled past, no matter the cost, in intense drama “Pure.” Although destined to be remembered as the film that made riveting 22-year-old thesp Alicia Vikander a star in her bigscreen debut, the strong writing, clever use of music and confidently nuanced visuals mark Swedish helmer-scribe Lisa Langseth as a talent to watch. Pic won Pusan’s Flash Forward competition, and reps provocative fare that will travel widely on the fest circuit.

Adapting her own play (which starred Noomi Rapace when it premiered at Stockholm’s Dramatic Theater in 2004), Langseth explores issues of class and culture in contempo Sweden. Her protagonist is 20-year-old Katarina (Vikander, in a visceral performance), the tightly wound daughter of a suicidal alcoholic.

Katarina’s savage soul finds solace in classical music, so she’s practically in heaven when she bluffs her way into a receptionist job at the Gothenburg Symphony. And she flowers under the attentions of the orchestra’s charismatic, married conductor Adam (Samuel Froler, casually cruel), who tries to cultivate her taste with recommended readings and recordings. But their brief affair leaves her more vulnerable than ever.

There are many pleasures in Langseth’s complex, multilayered screenplay, not least the irony of Katarina’s deadly serious interpretation of Adam’s favorite Kierkegaard quotation, “Courage is life’s only measure.” While a climactic plot twist may seem over-the-top given the story’s realism to that point, it makes deliciously wicked sense in terms of character development.

In a film full of contrasts, copious classical pieces (from Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and Massenet) counterpoint loud hip-hop sounds, just as sophisticated city-living opposes the limited offerings of the rough suburbs.

The sleek, realist production package poignantly underlines Katarina’s emotional ups and downs. At first, the stellar lensing by Simon Pramsten (“Sebbe”) frames her isolation outside the community she wants to join, but ultimately makes her a part of it. Meanwhile, the convincing wardrobe, hair and makeup designs also chart her metamorphosis from self-hatred to self-confident.

The post Lisa Langseth – Till det som är vackert AKA Pure (2010) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Scripted (but not directed) by Ingmar Bergman, Best Intentions is a multilayered backwards glance at the courtship of Bergman’s own parents. Henrik Bergman (Samuel Froler) is a struggling theology student in the year 1909. His intended, Anna Aakerbloom (Pernilla August, who married director Bille August while the film was in progress) is from a well-to-do family. Despite the expected class differences and personality clashes, love-or at least mutual understanding-prevails. But after a harsh, spare few years as the wife of a clergyman, Anna yearns for the more bountiful pleasures of her family home. Bergman writes himself into the proceedings as a mewling infant. The current three-hour theatrical version of Best Intentions (original title: Den Goda Viljan) was simultaneously prepared as a six-hour TV miniseries, which ran in Europe, Scandanavia, and Japan.

The post Bille August – Den goda viljan AKA The Best Intentions (1991) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis
This feature documentary is an affectionate yet truthful account of the 42 years and 12 films long relationship between legendary actress Liv Ullmann and master film maker Ingmar Bergman.

Told entirely from Liv’s point of view, this rollercoaster journey of extreme highs and lows is constructed as a collage of images and sounds from the timeless Ullmann-Bergman films, behind the scenes footage, still photographs, passages from Liv’s book ‘Changing’ and Ingmar’s love letters to Liv.

Ultimately this film is a homage – a candid, humane look – not only at two of the greatest artists of our time, but also at two wonderful human beings, two inseparable friends, soul mates…
