Our take

From early blossom to snow-covered woods, the ever-changing nature of the seasons becomes the subject of Bergman’s homage to his chosen home. Capturing the simple pleasures of rural working life in soft and bright hues, Fårö Document 1979 is his love letter to the island and its 673 inhabitants.
