I loooooved Bergman Island. So happy to see you post about it. I am planning to write an essay about it...someday. Vicky Krieps's character definitely had a great wardrobe!

OOOH...please send it to me! It would be a fun film to discuss in a class, read essays about, etc.

Definitely agree in general with your point about how actresses aren't allowed to be over 35...but Vicky Krieps is 38 and a mother of two and is AMAZING. She's brilliant in both Phantom Thread and Bergman Island!

Yes, I agree—she is great and very magnetic on screen. 35, 38…not in Tim Ruth’s generation…or Daniel Day Lewis’s either! They’re OLD.
