With a screenplay by filmmaking legend Ingmar Bergman (Fanny and Alexander, The Seventh Seal), Bille August (Pelle the Conqueror) masterfully directs this emotionally charged love story following the lives of Bergman's parents. Henrik Bergman (Samuel Frbler), an impoverished Lutheran pastor, falls in love with a wealthy girl, Anna (Pernilla August). Despite the attempts of many to discourage the relationship, Anna's love grows stronger and the two eventually wed. A compelling look at the hardships, extreme faith and rigid discipline of his father and his lifelong commitment to his wife, 'The Best Intentions' sheds a powerful light onto the themes that have appeared in Ingmar Bergman's best films.
