A work that made me count my blessings.
Scenes is an inncredibly raw portrayal of two people who are bound to each other beyond mere romantic love. Johan and Marianne are truly married in the spiritual and literal sense of the word - whatever their legal status.
The faces in this film are unforgettable and say far more than the script.
There is beauty and pain and sensuality and incredible, almost unspeakable cruelty in this marriage. And occasionally the deepest and most heartfelt love.
Incredible stuff from Bergman, who may have accomplished the first prestige TV show.
