Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
What we are left with at the end of After the Rehearsal, however, is the very strong sense of an artist who has sacrificed many lives for the sake of his art, and now wonders if perhaps one of those lives was his own.

After the Rehearsal may well be another Bergman classic.

There is something liberating in the very schematism of the project: he no longer needs to pretend that his mouthpieces are real people.
