Scenes from a Marriage
aka Scener ur ett äktenskap
First screened in July 2014
Director: Ingmar Bergman. Cast: Liv Ullmann, Erland Josephson, Anita Wal, Jan Malmsjö, Bibi Andersson, Gunnel Lindblom, Barbro Hiort af Ornäs, Rossana Mariano, Lena Bergman. Screenplay: Ingmar Bergman.

 Twitter Capsule: Epic yet modest. Surprisingly varied tones. Mostly avoids grandiosity. Ullmann, Josephson reliably heroic.

VOR: ⑤  Among Bergman's best movies and maybe his most instantly accessible. Nykvist, too, manages simpler effects without sacrificing insight or impact. Master-class in acting. Major cultural event.
