A film that has been turning up with some regularity on critics' year-end top 10 lists, the latest critically acclaimed drama from director Mia Hansen-Løve (Things to Come) finds a filmmaking couple (Vicky Krieps and Tim Roth) in the midst of relationship troubles while they work on the Swedish island of Fårö, once home to Ingmar Bergman (whose Scenes From a Marriage is an obvious inspiration).
