MCT:July 14, 2008I thought Bergman was a mopey, overgrown goth kid whose airtight compositions stifled an already suffocating atomosphere of bleak overt symbolism. I guess I was wrong. there is not one false note in all six hours of this thing. It's light on it's feet, it's funny, it's unexpected. it has the raw immediacy of cassavettes without any of that heavy-handed screaming actors' workshop bullshit. This is so good I had to go back and change some other things I rated 4 and a half or 5 stars just to accomodate its fucking greatness.

One of the most stunningly effective usage of drama and it being applied to marriage, fascinating. The dialogues is seriously striking and one-of-a-kind and the use of camera in a way to emphasize theatrical emotions with respect to film is outstanding. I've just seen the TV version,
I watched the theatrical release and I can't decide which I like better. The impact and emotions were so strong, I was left awe and displaced, the entire filmed literally crushed me and amazed me. Dialogue was something that held me a lot, causing me to put in hours and hours to study it and this film was one of the best educations ever on that and I hope to beat it one day. -

Pretty good film by Bergman, though not one of my favorites... Highlights the complications of marriage, love and sex.. and when they're joined together. With a great-wicked writing that maintains you entertained the 2 hours 40 min and a great performance by beautiful Liv Ullmann. A good movie to watch, but not one of my favorites...

A film that perhaps manages to really hit close to home, which is what makes this film so great. It manages to really recreate how the love between two people can really take a blow from a lot of different things. Thats perhaps a relationship may end up being detrimental to the other party. I'd really much rather recommend watching this film rather than reading about it. As its how close to home it manages to hit that I find to be what makes the movie so great. Quite a nice shocker, and definitely one of the more "accessible" films of Ingmar Bergman.

Begins with setting up 1 Corinth. 13:4 as ideal love. Of course, real people can never match the ideal.
Two people talking to each other about their relationship for 5 hours might sound boring, but its one of the most consistently captivating movies I've ever seen. After each 'scene' I was surprised it was already over. -

Extremely intense Bergman TV series...it starts off as a seemingly superficial exploration of a couple during a TV interview & becomes an excellent character study of a couple in the throws of the dissolution of their marriage.

Stunning. I actually watched the miniseries version and I have not yet watched the movie version but I might not watch it at all since the miniseries seemed great as it was.
The movie has Bergman's style all over it and the message about how people are emotional illiterates is portrayed beautifully. Ullmann and Josephson have a strange but wonderful chemistry together in this movie and the characters are real as at times you are pulled to love them and other times to hate them and feel the frustration of the situation deeply. I found Ullmann so enchanting and beautiful and I felt lost in her eyes. Meanwhile Josephson plays his character with a certain likability that, even in his reprehensible actions at times, you can't help but feel for him too. The characters are so real.
Bergman takes us into strange places as each scene unfolds. sometimes I think I know where and when the next scene will take place but I am surprised to find where Bergman has taken things.
I highly recommend this movie for those who love Bergman and also those who love a beautiful film and amazing characters. This movie/series is certainly a thoughtful and intense experience. -
MCT:August 20, 2007I generally love Scandinavian films and I really love films that focus more on the intense drama than visual stylings, but oh man, THREE HOURS of dramatic Swedish dialogue? Even I couldn't handle that. Sorry Ingmar.

This film blew me away. I had never thought possible to analyze a relationship so deeply in a movie, but here Bergman's camera pierces through their souls and offers us the results of an exploding life together. The acting is superb, enhanced by a true, hard-hitting and well written script full of things we would never dare to say, but that are full of our innermost feelings. This film takes tissues by tissue of a complex relationship and tries to find the answers, the reasons, the love underneath all the sex and lies, and we find richly developed characters that may remind us too much of our own couples...Disquieting and addictive, "Scenes from a Marriage" is not perfect, but that may be due to its TV origin (I saw the edited version) but I can't recommend it enough.

CastActors & Cast for Scenes from a Marriage
Liv Ullmann ,Erland Josephson ,Bibi Andersson,...SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE was originally conceived as a six-part TV mini-series. Since the film features only two principal actors, a limited number of indoor locales, and no musical score (nor any other...( read more ) atmosphere-enhancing devices), the success of this intense drama stems largely from the interaction between leads Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson, who play Marianne and Josef, an upper-middle-class married couple. At first glance, their lives appear to be devoid of marital conflict, but soon after the opening sequence, it becomes clear that tension is mounting just below the surface. The movie consists almost entirely of dramatic exchanges between Marianne and Josef and eventually evolves into an agonizing account of the deterioration of their marriage. But throughout it all, a deep, underlying love keeps the couple from breaking off all ties--in spite of the mutual aggression, cruelty, and even violence that forms part of their relationship.
Ingmar Bergman anticipated that SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE would baffle, if not antagonize, viewers who had come to expect more stylistically groundbreaking and aesthetically polished work from him. In fact, however, as a result of his unflinching, straightforward approach, the film proves to be one of the director?s most insightful and accessible works. -
MCT:July 11, 2007Boring name for a porno but straightforward at the least...
What? This isn't a porno?
I beg to differ. >_>" -

this film presents bergman's talents at his most artistic peak, a shocking and quite honest portrayal that is definitive in telling truth in a subtle yet deep tone, both leads were exceptional, a piece ahead of its time

A brutally intimate look at the quiet inner workings of marriage and relationships. Alarmingly universal.

While I liked this film, I don't recommend it for many people. If takes a lot of patience to sit thru this, but you won't be dissappointed at the end.

I prefer this to Bergman's similarly austere Persona, Bergman is more mature at this stage and his characters are fascinating, although it suffers a little bit from the miniseries-to-feature film conversion.

Encore une fois, Bergman me jette sur le cul. Cinq heures de dialogues et je ne m'emmerde pas une seconde. Scenes from a marriage est un tour de force incroyable. Liv Ullmann et Erland Josephson supportent ā eux deux la totalité du long métrage, ā l'exception de quelques rapides apparitions įā et lā d'autres personnages. Quels acteurs hallucinants. Liv Ullmann était brillante dans son rôle muet de Persona, et elle est de nouveau brillante dans ce flot incessant de dialogue. Une analyse poignante et humaine de la relation de couple, de l'amour, de l'angoisse de se perdre en soi et de ne jamais se retrouver. Et le plus fou, c'est que Scenes from a marriage est ā la base une mini-série pour la télévision. En terme de qualité, on est loin de notre Virginie et de nos Poupées Russes... C'en est presque pitoyable.

For the more patient viewer, this is a tour de force. Nobody, as far as I'm concerned, has illustrated the complexity of human relationships on screen as eloquently and brilliantly as Bergman. Nobody.

The quintessential movie about marriage...Though it was made many years ago, it still is one of the best of its genre

MCT:January 20, 2007
There are few of other films which never have the direct authenticity of this one in the past I doubt their sincerity. Sometimes it is difficult to observe. Moments ago of intense tenderness, as in the last scene where Johan relieves Marianne after its nightmare. Its dialogue is poetic sometimes, and achingly authenticates with others. Seldom make the characters know what they feel. The emphase is completely on the characters and their existences. I can imagine that the full version of TV is much more detailed.

Aparentemente tan simple, pero a fondo, complejísima, así como lo que retrata, la relaciķn de pareja. Bergman es un genio.
