Ingmar Bergman Biopic

[Cremildo]

An Ingmar Bergman movie is in the works from SF Studios, with Robert Gustafsson (The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared) playing the celebrated Swedish auteur.

The as-yet-untitled movie, revealed on day three of Cannes, is a political thriller set during the Swedish election year of 1976, when Bergman is arrested by the police suspected of serious tax evasion in the midst of the receptions for Strindberg’s The Dance of Death at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. The personal catastrophe quickly becomes a reality for Bergman, as does the mental breakdown, and the director finds himself in a Kafkaesque state, where culture is ultimately pitted against politics, with Bergman on one side and the political establishment on the other.

SF has acquired the Nordic distribution rights to the film with principal shooting by Beret Film planned for 2025. +
