Saraband

Liv Ullmann, Erland Josephson, Borje Ahlstedt, Julia Dufvenius, Gunnel Fred

Marianne and Johan meet again after 30 years without contact, when Marianne suddenly feels a need to see her ex-husband again. She decides to visit Johan at his old summerhouse in the western province...( read more  read more... ) of Dalarna. And so, one beautiful autumn day, there she is, beside his reclining chair, waking him with a light kiss. Also living at the summerhouse 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.

    What a shame that the last stand of the master turned out to be this un-tasty soup.

    It's Bergman, so it's worth seeing once at the very least.

    'Saraband can be seen as a concerto grosso, a concert for full orchestra - only, here, with four soloists, ' says Ingmar Bergman. 'The drama consists of ten dialogues that follow a particular pattern, and it's an attempt at analysis of a difficult situation.'

    Doesn't appeal to me.

    Comment ne pas aimer ce film? Impossible, Bergman a toujours eu un immense talent pour créer des climats de grandes tensions émotionnelles à l'aide seulement de 2 personnes qui se parle.

    Je t'aime.

    Dernier film du grand réalisateur suédois, Saraband reprend les personnages de Scenes from a Marriage, trente ans plus tard. On y retrouve tout ce qui compose la signature de Bergman, le jeu théâtral, les gros plans de visages, les questionnements profonds sur l'existence, les lo...( read more)ngues scènes de dialogue... Tout fonctionne très bien, et je le recommenderais possiblement comme une introduction soft à Bergman, vu son relatif niveau d'accessibilité. Les thèmes vont de la peur de la mort à l'inceste, en passant par les relations troubles entre parent et enfant. C'est un très beau film et il fait réfléchir. Je dois absolument le revoir quand j'aurai soixante ans.

    The sequel to Scenes from a Marriage took over 30 years to be made. Bergman's theatrical influence is evident. Impeccable performances.
