Scenes From A Marriage (Subtitled)

An intimate exploration of a disintegrating marriage, this powerful drama features faultless performances from two of Bergman’s greatest acting collaborators – Liv Ullmann (Autumn Sonata, Persona) and Erland Josephson (Cries and Whispers). When Marianne discovers that her husband, Johan, is involved with a younger woman (Bibi Andresson - Persona), she re-evaluates her life and the importance of her marriage. Time passes, their relationship changes and the couple divorce. Then – several years later – they have an illicit affair during which they talk with frankness and understanding about their feelings for one another. Capturing the trauma of a beleaguered marriage in painful close-up, this exhaustive study of doubt, despair and confusion is brought to life by the superb photography of Bergman’s frequent cinematographer, Sven Nykvist.
