Adapted from Ingmar Bergman's 1973 Swedish classic, and starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, Scenes from a Marriage re-examines the show's iconic depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage, and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple. (HBO Europe)
Reviews of this series by the user Marigold (1)
Scenes from a Marriage (2021)
A completely equal rival to Bergman's original. It cleverly quotes and simultaneously updates the emotional dynamics of the couple, problematizing male and female roles and tossing around motivations and key quotes. The result is a completely new, more relevant view of marriage for today. Leaving used to be too difficult, now it's too easy. The constellation changes, the dark house in the middle of the night remains. Chastain and Isaac are an absolutely riveting pair. Levi has created a sultry microcosm, brimming with meanings and valences that you can talk about as long as you like. Yet you will always end up talking about yourself. Very Bergman-esque.
