Filmmaker Nick Broomfield was 20 when he washed up on the shores of the Greek island of Hydra in 1968, where within days he’d fallen hard for Marianne Ihlen, an alluring Norwegian who introduced him to the island’s creative expatriate community.
“She’s very beautiful and older than me, and sort of like a young man’s dream,” Broomfield says. “I was a rather lost soul at that time, and she was part of that community of artists and painters and musicians in this idyllic island, which seemed like the closest I’d ever been to paradise.”
