Synopsis

Chronicles the many years of love and turmoil that bind Marianne and Johan through matrimony, infidelity, divorce, and subsequent partners. This is the theatrical version Bergman cut from the original six-part television version; the episode titles appear in the film version as chapter titles.

Our take

This version of Ingmar Bergman’s epic TV series, starring Liv Ullmann, is the three-hour theatrical cut. One of the major voices of modern cinema, the Swedish director is an implacable auteur whose ability to dissect human nature, and in this case marriage, is rather superlative.
