 Pernilla August's challenge: Being an immaculate Mary
August played Shmi Skywalker, mother of fatherless Anakin, in "Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace." Now she's "Mary, Mother of Jesus" in tonight's movie on NBC at 9.
August said she's sure "Star Wars" helped her get this role, and acknowledged the similarities with a laugh.
August said she's not religious, but has faith there's "something out there." Making "Mary" wasn't her first experience with the virgin mother, though she's at a loss to describe her relationship with the mother of Christ.

One reason for his cross-Nordic success may be that he's married to the wonderful Swedish actor Pernilla August, who he casts in his Swedish films, but mostly it has to do with the material he adapts -- tightly wound stories boasting a touch of naked emotionalism.
However, when his sister Karin (Pernilla August) auctions the family farm so she can join Brother Hellgum (Sven-Bertil Taube) on his journey to the Holy Land, Ingmar decides to forsake Gertrud and marry a rich farmer's daughter to keep the farm in the family.
August spends close to two hours in the wintry Swedish countryside, where cold blues, greys and muted light dominate the screen.

 Star Wars: Episode II | Pernilla August: Mother of the Force
To pull off the complex emotions needed for the important moment, director George Lucas and producer Rick McCallum turned to Pernilla August, one of the most celebrated actresses in her native Sweden, but then an unknown to most American audiences.
Still, August says that while her time in Sydney was brief, she was far more relaxed than she was shooting The Phantom Menace, since Episode II was her second Star Wars film.
The comfortable feeling for Episode II was a marked contrast to August's trepidation at taking the role in Episode I -- and acting, for the first time, in English, not her native tongue.

August is already in production with a new film treatment of the classic Les Miserable ("Not the musical," he is quick to point out) featuring a starry cast including Liam Neeson, Uma Thurman and Claire Danes.
August and I chatted about these matters in his hotel suite on a recent visit to New York.
He said, "Pernilla -- I wrote it for her and I want her to play my mother." And that was fine with me because she is a wonderful actress.

 Review: Jerusalem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
August uses his canvas to explore not only issues of faith and spirituality, but more human matters, such as betrayal, lust, and longing.
August is careful to remain non- judgmental in his approach to the subject, and this results in a balanced, cliché-free exploration of how fringe sects are born and why apparently well-adjusted men and women join them.
Ingmar is closer to Gertrud than he is to his own sister, Karin (Pernilla August), who is a decade older and married.

 Amazon.com: Private Confessions (1999) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
This script, like that of The Best Intentions (directed by Bille August), charts the difficult relationship of Bergman's own parents; the earlier film also featured Pernilla August and Samuel Fröler in the roles of Anna and Henrik, but at an earlier (and perhaps more hopeful) point in their lives.
Pernilla August, as Anna, is frankly rivetting and it is impossible to take one's eyes off her.
Indeed, the camera can remain for what seems minutes on her silent face and we read, as a book, the thoughts and feelings that are conveyed by her subtle but evident expressions.Every emotion, including rage, is a wonder to witness.
