Details Of The Best Intentions
Bille August (Goodbye Bafana, The House of the Spirits) directs legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman's The Best Intentions. A turbulent love story based on the lives of his own parents, which features long-time Bergman collaborator, Max Von Sydow (The Seventh Seal, Flash Gordon, Victory).Winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1992, The Best Intentions tells the story of a family and a bygone era played out against a background of a Sweden stifled by a rigid class system and in the throes of a General Strike. Poverty stricken young Henrik meets a beautiful and vivacious upper-class girl, Anna, who is adored by all, especially her father, the affectionate but ailing Johan Akerblom (Von Sydow). The two fall in love and eventually wed despite Anna's mother's attempts to discourage the relationship.
With love and not a little pain, Ingmar Bergman depicts his parents and their complex love story over a decade of upheaval - from 1909 when they first meet to the summer of 1918 when Bergman was in his mother's womb, about to embark on his own journey through life. As the author writes, it is all a game but a game that nevertheless requires considerable effort.
