Full of unforgiving irony and quiet realism, A Song for Martin stands as a powerful and moving achievement.

August ... steers this story to its stirring conclusion with firm lack of sentimentality.

The movie, for all its sincerity, becomes clinical and repetitious, though its unsparing vision of the fragility of identity can give you a shudder.

Product Description:
Danish director Bille August's (PELLE THE CONQUEROR) touching tale is about finding a great love and losing it too quickly. Barbara (Viveka Seldahl), the first violinist in a Swedish philharmonic, is immediately, deeply attracted to Martin Fischer (Sven Wollter), a famous composer who is guest conducting his new work. Both Barbara and Martin are good-looking, middle-aged, and married to other people. Despite the obstacles, they fall passionately in love, and soon enjoy a blissful, charmed life together as husband and wife. They live in a quaint house by the sea, and work together on Martin's compositions. However, Martin begins displaying some unnerving behavior--he forgets his manager's name, and has sudden, terrifying moments of blankness where he doesn't recognize the house. When Martin is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he tries to continue composing his new opera, but the cruel irony of an artist's instrument--his mind and memory--being destroyed (as in IRIS) is soon apparent. Meanwhile, Barbara struggles to cope as her virile, brilliant husband deteriorates into a confused, weak man she doesn't recognize. Wollter embodies the shambling, empty physicality of Alzheimer's to perfection, while Seldahl (Wollter's real-life wife) realistically portrays the frustration, anger, and sorrow of the loved ones forced to watch.
