Scenes from a Marriage was originally conceived as a six-part TV mini-series. Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson play Marianne and Josef, an upper-middle-class married couple. At first glance, their lives appear to be devoid of marital conflict, but soon after the opening sequence, it becomes clear that tension is mounting just below the surface. The movie consists almost entirely of dramatic exchanges between Marianne and Josef and eventually evolves into an agonizing account of the deterioration of their marriage. But throughout it all, a deep, underlying love keeps the couple from breaking off all ties--in spite of the mutual aggression, cruelty, and even violence that forms part of their relationship.
Ingmar Bergman's
Scenes from a Marriage, starring the incomparable Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson as lovers who don't always know it, is a movie of such extraordinary intimacy that it has the effect of breaking into mysterious components many things we ordinarily accept without thought, familiar and banal objects, faces, attitudes, and emotions, especially love. A smile is a composite of pain, anger, affection, and creeping boredom. The surface of a double bed is a linen battleground. Later the rumpled white sheets suggest an abandoned Arctic landscape on a planet in a universe that might be contained within the head of a pin.
In
Scenes from a Marriage, Mr. Bergman is examining the molecular structure of a human relationship. You think you've seen it before, but every time you see it, it's new, which is one of the things about love. Like a laboratory model of a molecule, the design is complex and beautiful in a purely abstract way, but the film is also intensely, almost unbearably moving.
The look of the film has something to do with this. The two-hour, forty-eight-minute movie, which opened yesterday at the Cinema I, is Mr. Bergman's theatrical version of a five-hour production he made for Swedish television last year. The director has not only edited the six original fifty-minute installments down to the present length, but he has blown up the 16mm negative to 35mm, which gives a kind of pointillist effect.
Under Mr. Bergman's direction and with his material, Miss Ullmann again establishes herself as one of the most fascinating actresses of our time, and if she seems to have the edge over her costar, it may well be because of the director's fascination with women. He can't help paying tribute to them.
Mr. Josephson gives an equally complex performance, but Johan seems to have been conceived with a certain amount of guilt. He's a not-quite-admirable character. As Marianne liberates herself, Johan drifts into unspectacular failure. Yet this is to oversimplify Bergman, and nothing in this film is cut and dried.
Toward the end, Johan and Marianne are having an illicit weekend at a country cabin. It is twenty years since they met, and Marianne still wonders whether she can love anyone. Johan cradles her as they sit in bed. After twenty years Johan is sleepy but not yet exhausted. He says: "I think I love you in my imperfect and rather selfish way. And I think you love me in your stormy, emotional way. In fact, I think that you and I love one another. In an earthly and imperfect way."
It is a happy ending, almost. And a superb film.
