Every relationship is essentially the same. We are mountains for eachother desperately seeking meaning in our Sisyphusian existence. Once again Bergman playing god with his petty subjects.

Of Bergman's films that I've gotten around to watching, this is the one I enjoy the most. You can relate to the characters, the close-ups are powerful yet not overwhelming, and you can actually take something away from this masterpiece. This film, to me, truly captures the "human spirit" in its range of emotions and character interaction.

Impecabbly written and acted, sharply observant and achingly realistic, "Scener ur ett äktenskap" is an occasionally fascinating examination of a failing marriage. Although the relative lack of dramatic intensity (as opposed to another dialogue-driver Bergman chamber drama "Höstsonaten") and the overall monotony somewhat lessen the overall emotional impact, the film still packs a wallop merely thanks to the sheer authenticity of the conversations and situations it depicts.

(2nd viewing) An emotionally resonant script of precision and unparalleled humility. A shame some people don't realise marriage is composed of these moments of uncertitude and commotion, and how working past them enforces its foundation together with heartfelt empathy. The lead actors give the most natural performances ever recorded on screen, though I guess the real star of this film is Bergman himself, who's in complete control of his visuals and subject matter. Highly recommended !!!

It shows love as a force that can remain indomitable, even in the face of reason or want, and personally I find the idea of love preserving even in the face of everything more romantic than almost any attempts to look at newly founded love in all its beautiful floundering (though the latter can of course be highly romantic as well). A brutally honest, relentlessly truthful, painful, exasperating, life-affirming, wise, thought provoking and highly challenging film.

On infidelity. This is the greatest movie of the 1970s, and in a sense captures the essence of that decade. It is the greatest depiction of a relationship onscreen, and probably the greatest ever record of actors' performances. One of the greatest films of all time is a TV series! A singular achievement.

It's like watching some random family's home movies. Where's the soundtrack? How can this movie possibly sustain itself for nearly 3 hours with the most matter-of-fact, un-exhilarating dialogue? Maybe I have to be married to endure this borefest. Not trolling, I swear!

In Bergman's most straight-forward film, Scenes From a Marriage is a wonderfully honest narrative on the delicate nature of relationships. The two leads are flawless in their expression of love and brutality. Often cringe inducing, but always an absolute pleasure to watch.

Scenes From a Marriage is an epic of a completely different kind. It's internally intense and very emotional without being melodramatic or sappy at any point. Bergman captures the essence of a troubled relationship in a gripping state; it's extraordinarily powerful.

An incredible movie on nearly every level. The characters are so real that it almost feels as if you're watching a documentary. While it's primarily about marriage and relationships it explores many aspects of personal motivations and fullfilment through characters that are genuinely complex.

Probably the most affecting film without a score that I have seen. The performances are so wonderfully nuanced and compelling that the stage play-like qualities of the film did not detract from the intimate reality it portrays.

Two of the best written characters in the history of cinema come courtesy of Bergman. To see Ullman and Josephson together on screen in this film makes you want to actually see their chats for entire days.

This is acting at its finest. Everything else in the film is in a back seat, kept muted and made almost irrelevant. They explore everything about love here, its ups and downs and it's tough to believe you're not watching two people who've been married for 10 years. It's stunning.

Showing the transformation and truely metamorphic timeline of marriage, from the first vows to divorce, Scenes from a Marriage is probably Bergman's most recital impelled and motivated film ever. There is barely anything else going on, but this is the entire proposition. What our legendary filmmaker was trying to come across was to prove than even without all the fabrics that the average movie requires, he manages to make a movie watchable from just the reciprocation of two people. Brilliant.

This is Bergmans relentless statement about the institutionalization of love by the society and marriage with the two phantastic actors Erland Josephson and Liv Ullman.

Powerful, real and often brutal, Bergman creates two characters that you will relate with no matter who you are. The acting is of course top-notch, and the camerawork is so subtle, you will actually forget you are watching a film. No other piece of cinema has affected me as much as this.

Brutally honest like no other film I've seen. The characters say the devastating things we've all thought but never had the courage to utter, but at the same time they're both plausible and sympathetic (thanks to both the writing and the great performances of Josephson and Ullmann).

Yet another powerful work from Bergman. The things these characters say to each other ring so true... they're conversations that you've had, or at least feel you've had or could have. Amazing performances, too.

(TV cut) It's amazing that in its entire 5 hour runtime, this film stays relentlessly efficient, and Bergman never wavers emotional intensity. No time is wasted, and you're left hanging on every word. The absence of stylistic flourish, the insulated atmosphere, and two incredibly authentic performances provide total immersion. It's painstakingly realistic, and by the end I felt drained.

Incredibly well-acted (Ullman's unexplained and obvious accent notwithstanding) and relentless. Suffers, perhaps, a bit from being ripped off by everyone making a "social realist" divorce drama ever since.
