Continuing is “I’m Your Man,” which follows a scientist living with a humanoid robot for research, but the robot’s been designed to be her perfect man.

“Bergman Island” follows a couple of American filmmakers, Chris (Vicky Krieps) and Tony (Tim Roth), who retreat to the mythical Fårö island for the summer. In this wild, breathtaking landscape where Bergman lived and shot his most celebrated pieces, they hope to find inspiration for their upcoming films. As days spent separately pass by, the fascination for the island operates on Chris and souvenirs of her first love resurface. Lines between reality and fiction will then progressively blur and tear our couple even more apart.

The film is showing at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center Oct.15-28, and is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America.
