Ingmar Bergman's last theatrical film, "Fanny and Alexander," was released in 1982. In the ensuing decades, he has busied himself with theater, opera and television. He also wrote scripts for others to direct, most notably Liv Ullmann, his one-time lover and all-time muse, and Bille August, who made the dazzling "Best Intentions," the story of Bergman's parents. Now the filmmaker, who is in his mid-80s, returns with what he insists is his final film (though, like Cher, he's been known to say farewell, then renege). If we take him at his word, "Saraband" is a stunning and complex final bow from a stunning and complex artist. Read the full review

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A-
"The connections in the movie are rarely gentle, but they provide a kind of wisdom, even if it's more hurtful than healing. "
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"Bergman weaves fine emotional threads — hatred, fear, loss, despair — into a wider existential net, making his characters grapple with the perplexities of life and the impossibility of enduring love."
