Great sequel to Scenes from a Marriage. Seeing Ullmann and Josephson revisit their roles is awesome, but Dufvenius is also truly great here.
You could probably watch this one without seeing the prequel. Fantastic drama but nothing too outstanding for Bergman. Fitting end.
Continuing the perfect story of Scenes from a Marriage decades later, this conclusion is great but lacks the prequel's breathtaking writing
Meh
Really fantastic in directing👍
Awful

Johan and Marianne are married and seem to have it all. Their happiness, however, is a façade for a troubled relationship, which becomes even rockier when Johan admits that he's having an affair. Before long, the spouses separate and move towards finalizing their divorce, but they make attempts at reconciling. Even as they pursue other relationships, Johan and Marianne realize that they have a significant bond, but also many issues that hinder that connection.
Reuniting the characters of Johan and Marianne three decades after "Scenes from a Marriage," "Saraband" follows Marianne’s visit to her reclusive ex-husband, where she finds him locked in a destructive conflict with his troubled son Henrik and Henrik’s musically gifted daughter Karin. Told as an intimate chamber drama, the film explores love, resentment, forgiveness, and the inescapable pull of family bonds.
