Review of Saraband (2003) by Eric H — 13 Aug 2007
In light of Ingmar Bergman's death, I figured I would write a review for the last film he conducted. Saraband picks up 30 years later, after "Scenes from a Marriage", where Marianne and Johan (played brilliantly and effortlessly by Ullman and Josephson)meet for the first time after their gritty divorce.
To watch Ullman and Josephson grace the screen with their comfortable and well-knit relationship is a rare treat for any Bergman fan. The dialogue, which is the pillar of most Bergman films, is less poetic than his other films, and more modernized, giving a sense of positivity towards the ending of relationships.
Mr. Bergman serenades his viewers with the tonal essence of the Sarabande movement, giving us the ability to see relationships as a waltz throughout life. To any fan of Bergman, this is essetial to watch.
