Smiles of a Summer Night
​
Sommernattens leende

Ingmar Bergman

Over a single summer weekend, four sets of mismatched lovers attempt to navigate the laws of attraction.

“An intricate, lyrical and surprisingly bawdy study of elegant carnality that deserves to rank among Bergman’s finest achievements.” – Empire

​The Magician
​Ansiktet​​

Ingmar Bergman  
Sweden  ·  1958

​An illusionist and his troupe travel from town to town, trying to elude anyone who might suspect they’ve been swindled.

Thelma

Joachim Trier
​​Norway  ·  2017
​
A beautiful classmate's presence appears to awaken long-dormant, supernatural powers in a young college student.

​“Trier’s imaginative and beautifully realised film places the emotional journey of its heroine front and centre, resulting in an experience as deeply moving as it is slyly chilling.” – London Film Festival​

A White, White, Day
​​
Hvítur, Hvítur Dagur

Hlynur Pálmason
​​Iceland/Denmark/Sweden  ·  2019

Sifting through his late wife’s things, a widower makes a distressing discovery, sparking a shocking spiral of events in search of the truth.

“Brings to mind a cinematic version of Edvard Munch’s famous painting 'The Scream'… grimly hypnotic… powerful and freshly thought out.” – Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter
