Alec B Your mileage for Bergman's incessant probing of these characters may vary but that's ultimately what makes the ending work so well. Ullmann and Josephson are taken apart and put back together so often that you come to deeply understand their perspectives. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Leaburn O Whilst I may never have been a huge Bergman fan (Wild Strawberries aside), this really was a painful watch. I never felt any sympathy for either party and just couldn't invest in the story. An examination of the human condition and how it impacts relationships could be an interesting theme but it never captivated. We're just left with angst of two adults unable to hold their bleep together. And it goes on and on and on and…. This completes a list I had of the top 250 films ever, and sadly I ended on a real stinker. Bought this one in DVD as couldn't find on UK tv or streaming. It sits with my other Bergman films in the collection that are unlikely ever to be watched again. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/23/23 Full Review Alexsander F Filme com uma boa proposta, numa pegada dos filmes do Antonioni, com muito diálogo e tudo caminhando de forma bem lenta. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review dave s Scenes from a Marriage has none of the visual wonders one would expect from a film directed by Ingmar Bergman and shot by Sven Nykvist. Despite this apparent shortcoming, it is a riveting account of the disintegration of the marriage of an affluent Swedish couple, Marianne (Liv Ullman) and Johan (Erland Josephson). Acknowledging the sobering reality that their love has faded over the period of their relationship, they engage in a series of insightful, searing and sometimes incendiary dialogues as they come to terms with sobering realizations regarding their marriage. Despite its considerable length and preponderance of talking heads, the film is wildly entertaining due to the depth of the characters, the intelligence of the dialogue, and the spectacular performances from Josephson and Ullman, both of whom express as much with their mannerisms as they do with their voices. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jaime h The OG, best of the best… perhaps the greatest interpersonal storytelling for a generation, and the largest influence for all that came after. Brilliant and unfettered. Leaves you in shambles. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review william d No one is more surprised than I am that I actually enjoyed a three hour movie of a married couple just talking. I think it stems from the fact that these characters are not static, they evolve over the course of time, and it was fascinating to see what direction they would take. That is a testament to Bergman's excellent script and the fine performances by Erland Josephson and particularly Liv Ullman.
