A moving tale of love, obsession and rejection, After the Rehearsal is perhaps Bergman's most self-referential work. Directed during the latter part of his career, the film is, on the surface, a simple tale. However as is typical of Bergman the real truth lies buried under a web of complex emotions. The film tells the tale of a rational, exacting and self-controlled theatre director who wakes from reminiscing about a former lover to find that her daughter is in his theatre. Jolted into a rare emotional response, the feelings of the director are exposed, as he explains in a painful confessional that any relationship he and she may have is doomed to fail. 5 STARS OUT OF 5 After the Rehearsal Ingmar Bergman Buy UK Dvd (This Site) (Shipped from UK) Single Disc [2006] Director: Ingmar Bergman Actors: Erland Josephson, Lena Olin Format: PAL, Widescreen Language: Swedish Region: All Regions Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1 Number of discs: 1 Classification: 15 Studio: Tartan Video DVD Release Date: 27 Mar 2006 Run Time: 72 minutes DVD Features: Main Language: Swedish Available Audio Tracks: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Sub Titles: English Disc Format: DVD 9 Persona Trailer Autumn Sonata Trailer Star And Director Filmographies Film Notes Scene Selection Sold Out. Update: (Dec 08) The UK company who released this, Tartan Dvd, went out of business in 2008 and are not making this title anymore. Those sold at online retailers and shops are just what they have in stock and which can't be replaced. For example, Seventh Seal is becoming incredibly hard to find now as it is Bergman's best seller and stockists can't replace it once they have sold all their available copies. As of December 2008 no company has yet come in to release the Bergman titles. So at some point if things don't change stocks are going to dry up which is weird when you consider that these are the films of Europe's greatest 20th-century film director.
