    Powerfully, painfully honest.

    If it's not an actual masterpiece, it's at least the next best thing, a fully characteristic, fully alive work by a master of his art.

    Insightful as ever but a little dated in the set-up and treatment of the shooting.

    Ingmar Bergman was never one to shy away from the brutal honesties of life, and with "Saraband" (his last feature), all of that pain is projected onto 4 characters who so desperately need fulfillment from each other and themselves. What he leaves us with is this - the longer you wait for resolution in your life, the harder it is to get it.… Expand

    How amazing that Bergman, in his late 80s, still has the touch. Saraband may not be up to the level of his greatest films, such as Fanny and Alexander, but it is certainly on the same level as Scenes From a Marriage.… Expand
