Full Plot Details

Marianne and Johan meet again after thirty years without contact, when Marianne suddenly feels a need to see her ex-husband again. She decides to visit Johan at his old summer house in the western province of Dalarna. And so, one beautiful autumn day, there she is, beside his reclining chair, waking him with a light kiss. Staying at a cottage on the property are Johan's son Henrik and Henrik's daughter Karin. Henrik is giving his daughter cello lessons and already sees her future as staked out. Relations between father and son are very strained, but both are protective of Karin. They are all still mourning Anna, Henrik's much-loved wife, who died two years ago, yet who, in many ways, remains present among them. Marianne soon realizes that things are not all as they should be, and she finds herself unwillingly drawn into a complicated and upsetting power struggle.

Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittIts leisurely, deliberative style is a perfect complement to the emotions it deals with - emotions so penetrating that I warn you at the outset how jarringly intense you may find Bergman's most brilliant drama in decades.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 10/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Like the Bach piece that gives it its title, Saraband is a stately, mournful movie.
Salt Lake Tribune - 10/10 by Sean P. MeansA haunting series of heartbreaking duets between people for whom love is distant and death is uncomfortably close.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankePowerful and more than a little depressing, but it's also essential filmmaking for anyone who cares about one of the giants of cinema.
Sacramento News & Review - 10/10 by Jonathan KieferNo one else could have made it, and you should see it.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonSaraband is a great masterpiece, and a true and fitting culmination to a major career.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranBergman 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.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 10/10 by Chris HewittLike the Bach piece that gives it its title, Saraband is a stately, mournful movie.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Keith UhlichBergman consistently evokes the ghost of history in Saraband.
Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil VillarrealBergman is still at the top of his game, every bit as much in control of his faculties for deciphering human misery.
