Scenes from a Marriage

Directed by Ingmar Bergman, 'Scenes from a Marriage' follows Johan and Marianne, a seemingly perfect Swedish couple whose relationship slowly disintegrates through separation, divorce, and raw emotional confrontation. The film is a deeply psychological and unflinching examination of intimacy, identity, and the complexity of long-term love. Widely considered one of Bergman's masterpieces, it features extraordinary performances from Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson.

• "I have thousands of thoughts and feelings, but they all dissolve."
• "We have loved each other with tenderness and passion and hunger."
• "Do you think two people can live together for thirty years and feel nothing?"
• "I don't know who I am. I've never thought about it."
• "Perhaps I love you. That's probably the most I can say."
