BERGMAN ISLAND with Adam Protz
Episode 8
Wednesday, 8 October, 2025
Check out Mubi!A calm film that still hits like a memory. We head to Faro for a slow, sunlit walk through Mia Hansen-Løve’s Bergman Island and talk about why a “vibe movie” can carry more emotional weight than a dozen plot twists. With composer and interviewer Adam Protz, we unpack the gentle shock of moving beyond IP-driven habits into cinema that breathes—where sweaters match ferries, windmills hold quiet revelations, and a film-within-a-film mirrors the delicate strain of a creative partnership.Adam traces his journey from easy-listening piano into the textured worlds of Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, and Hania Rani, then draws a line to Bergman Island’s unshowy craft. We dig into how place becomes an instrument, why the inner story burns hotter than the outer romance, and how boundaries in feedback can feel both defensive and necessary. Along the way, we explore sampling as a metaphor for cinema literacy—discovering echoes in Seventh Seal, then chasing the source to hear the original heartbeat.What emerges is a portrait of taste in motion: keeping love for superhero spectacle while making room for small, precise choices that invite a second look. No Bergman syllabus required; the references land without gatekeeping, and the meta touches stay human. If you’re curious how a quiet film can feel restorative, or how partners create without smothering each other’s endings, you’ll find a warm, thoughtful companion here—part travelogue, part craft talk, part love letter to watching closely.If this conversation resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves slow-burn cinema, and leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts so more thoughtful listeners can find us.Support the showJoin The Nut House Discord community!Support The Film Nuts Podcast on Patreon!
