Feature Friday: “Scenes from a Marriage” (1973)

Following Love Letter, something slightly bitterer.

Supposedly, the divorce rate at Big Other skyrocketed after this post.

Scenes from a Marriage (Scener ur ett äktenskap) (1973)

Written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. Starring Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson. Cinematography by Sven Nykvist.

To answer your questions, 1) this is the shorter version, and 2) yes, there are English subs.

A. D. Jameson is the author of five books, most recently I FIND YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBING: STAR WARS AND THE TRIUMPH OF GEEK CULTURE and CINEMAPS: AN ATLAS OF 35 GREAT MOVIES (with artist Andrew DeGraff). Last May, he received his Ph.D. in Creative Writing from the Program for Writers at UIC.
