	Ingmar Bergman
		As with other Bergman films, most notably Autumn Sonata, the film is a heartbreaking portrait of pain and regret, of things left unsaid and undone, until it is too late.
		Filmed during Ingmar Bergman's self-imposed exile in Germany after a protracted and acrimonious dispute with Swedish authorities on charges of income tax evasion, From the Life of Marionettes is a challenging, visually hypnotic, and atypically voluptuous film that reflects Bergman's own personal struggle with alienation, estrangement, and psychological duress.
		Bergman visually contrasts the color-saturated sequences of the film's prologue and epilogue with the austere, high contrast fl and white episodes that encapsulate the chronicled activities of the characters before and after the murder.

	Ingmar Bergman
		Bergman works primarily in the chamber cinema genre, although there are exceptions, such as the journey narrative of Wild Strawberries (1957) and the family epic of Fanny and Alexander (1983).
		Ostensibly concerned with identity crisis and the role reversal of a nurse and her mentally ill patient, the subtext of the film explores the nature of the cinematic apparatus itself.
		Even the minor films of Bergman's later period, such as Face to Face (1976), Autumn Sonata (1978) and From the Life of the Marionettes (1980) continue to explore and refine recurrent themes and techniques.

	INGMAR BERGMAN at Film Forum in New York City
		From his earliest youth, Bergman was among the most hardened of film buffs, and from his university days an enfant terrible of the theater.
		Bergman’s work with his stock company has made him arguably the greatest director of actors in the history of the medium, and his overall technical mastery and his brutal honesty and relentless search for truth have made him, as well, one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
		Bergman’s penultimate work for the cinema, designed as a kind of valedictory, touches on a kaleidoscope of his favorite themes: the theater, male/female tensions, childhood, repressive religion, etc., as well as being one of his warmest and most autobiographical works.

	Back to the Future: Ingmar Bergman's "Saraband"
		But a dip into formal considerations reminds how Bergman films outlast dramatic fashion and belie popular stereotypes precisely because, however overwhelming, their power is always grounded in specific technical decisions, from the striking to the self-effacing.
		The film's first 10 minutes are disconcertingly awkward: while Bergman mastered the art of direct address during the peak of his career, Marianne's speech to the camera -- at a table covered with photos, from which she shows us the ones relevant to the story -- never transcends its contrived expositional function.
		Equally remarkable is how well Bergman's eye for austere color compositions has adapted to the world of digital video, which, while not as vivid as celluloid, adds a dreaminess all its own in terms of grain and texture.
