Quote:
Scenes from a Marriage (Swedish: Scener ur ett äktenskap) is a 1973 Swedish TV series written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. The story explores the disintegration of a marriage between Marianne, a lawyer, and Johan, a professor (played respectively by Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson) over a long period, using a restricted cast, a naturalist, hyper-realistic cinematic style, claustrophobic close-ups, and strings of rapid, articulate monologues. After major success in Sweden, the series became notorious worldwide when it was condemned for allegedly inspiring a spike in Scandinavian divorce rates, which almost doubled in the year of its release.

This is a good movie and experience, possibly more impressive at its time of release, it definitely still holds up to the current time. Which is no less interesting and shows that for a large part the concept of marriage and the dynamic between man and woman has not changed much in western society over 50 years. It's very well acted, and essentially just a 2 people dialogue driven film, with subject matter relatable to anyone that is or has been in a long term relationship. It's possibly a bit too long, but it was originally released as a mini-series and works probably best in that format too. But despite the run-time the conversations flow fluently, in a way like the Before films do as well. I may not care for seeing this again probably, but it has a classic and satisfying feel to it.

B+
