Profile of Saraband

The mood of Saraband is contemplative, sincere, and emotional. The plot centers around a family in crisis, a crumbling marriage, and a dysfunctional family. It is a drama and foreign movie. Stylistically, Saraband is a melodrama. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The pacing is slow. Saraband happens in contemporary times.

Summary of Saraband

In this heartfelt drama from the inimitable Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, a woman (Bergman's longtime favorite Liv Ullmann) visits her ex-husband after a 30-year separation, only to become involved in the lives of his son and granddaughter from his late second wife.

Critics Reviews

Chicago Tribune
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.
Los Angeles Times
Bergman has never been an ordinary filmmaker, and what he's given us is no genial last hurrah but rather an intensely dramatic, at times lacerating examination of life's conundrums that is exhilarating in its fearlessness and its command.
