Scenes From a Marriage

Director: Ingmar Bergman

1973 / 287min / DCP

Bergman’s monumental chronicle of a crumbling coupledom originated as a television miniseries, and on the big screen Sven Nykvist’s close-ups intended for the small become disarmingly, sometimes stiflingly intimate. Ten years into their marriage, something has gone wrong with well-heeled married couple Marianne (Liv Ullmann) and Johan (Erland Josephson), and as they remorselessly probe one another in search of the root of the problem, Bergman fixes them both with a gaze both unsparing and compassionate. “One of the truest, most luminous love stories ever made.”—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
