Saraband (2005)

Swedish Family Drama - Starring Liv Ullmann and directed by Ingmar Bergman. Dysfunctional family struggles to get along in a remote setting. The uniting force is a talented and beautiful 19 year old granddaughter who is too attached to her lonely suicidal father. Interesting story as the father attempts to teach/coach his talented daughter with his superb skills as a musician, but smothers her with his emotional neediness. The story is told through a visiting in-law (Ullman) who decides to look up her ex-husband after many years of no contact. Mostly dialogue and philosophy of life with very little real action. But refreshingly unusual. 110 min.
