Hilma reveals the life of a woman who posthumously revolutionised the art world as one of the first abstract artists. In the male-dominated art world of the early 20th century, Hilma af Klint, under the patronage of her artist girlfriend and circle of female friends would develop a style that would become a movement all of its own. Hallström’s biopic follows Hilma’s early life, her unconventional love life, and her influences — from the writings of Rudolph Steiner to the Theosophic Movement mystical philosophy.  Having remained unknown and unrecognized as the woman who invented abstract painting after her death in 1944, a 2019 Guggenheim Museum exhibition devoted to Hilma af Klint’s work became her first major solo exhibition in the U.S., revolutionizing the art world and art history while displacing Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian as the fathers of Modernism.

Director: Lasse Hallström, Sweden, 2022, 120 minutes, English. Unclassified 15+
