That night, that first night had been like all Bergman others if I had not stolen (again) the heart, soul, patience. After that, after seeing that movie, gave sleepless round and round, turning on and off the lights in my home, off and cigarettes, scratching his beard, watching my own body that was, and still uncomfortable in front of the TV. The film "Scenes from a Marriage," which not only I think one of the best films of director, but simply one of the best films (one of the best texts) of history. Filmax
out now in Spain the complete works five consecutive hours of pain and glory, the five hours relentless love and anger, Johann and Marianne feeling / viviéndose / shattering, Johann and Marianne always are but you and I, dear reader, loved lectriz. How to forget certain movies? How to hide under the carpet? How do you beat the innocence and panic? Filmax has done an outstanding job in recent months to offer some of the English public works Bergman unknown in Spain, and the finale was this issue that (for a price more than logical, 18 euros in Fnac) gives us the perfect and invaluable synthesis of all that is Bergman, Bergman gives everything, destroys everything Bergman again and again.
Since then, from that first night, I lost count of how many times I've seen "Scenes from a Marriage" (about three times so far this year), and what is more remarkable, its footprint has been indelible and painful in my own work in the plays that, year after year, I go on stage. When, long ago the company was rehearsing with Navigators between stars, "I used to sit in the back of the theater and see them on stage, looking over and over again the union Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson had conquered in the work of yore. I was repeating his gestures, his looks, wanted them to be Johann and Marianne, I wanted my work out "Scenes from a Marriage", although I never succeeded, though I always before starting a new script, before mounting, as I write, looking at her words missing in mine.
"Scenes from a Marriage" is simply the best Bergman, Bergman pure, and now brings us to the full extent Filmax those who saw the original film (distributed by Manga Video in a contentious issue but appreciated) and also for those who want to suffer / enjoy the boundless and eternal Bergman that we like. Means that both film history and personal history. The best Bergman. The only Bergman, after all, that is where we speaking personally, face to face, in his best movies.
