Abstract:
Lasse Hallström's HILMA brings to life the story of a woman who posthumously revolutionized the art world as one of the first abstract artists. In this immersive biopic starring Tora Hallström as the young Hilma, and Lena Olin as the mature Hilma, we follow the artist from her early life through her rising artistic career and spiritual awakening after the loss of her beloved younger sister Hermina. HILMA explores af Klint's spiritualism, her unconventional love life, and the impetus behind her work - from the writings of Rudolph Steiner to the strong influence of the Theosophic Movement, and her belief in its mystical philosophy - in a portrait of a woman well ahead of her time.
