Scenes from a Marriage

[Phoenix]

The next HBO limited series, based on the Ingmar Bergman movie. Looks lush.

 

[Mats]

I love Bergman's movie. the frames, Ullman's expressions, the POISONOUS exchanges

I actually thought Marriage Story was a really good independent modern day take on this sort of story to the point where I don't need a remake. but of course I will watch it, you can never have too much poison!

 

[Phoenix]

I need to watch the original.

 

[Mats]

turns out I've watched the miniseries, I had no idea it had been cut down to movie length. I'd definitely go full hog

 

[Mats]

I also had no idea there's a sequel from 2003

 

[Peekaboo]

I watched the original for some paper at Uni and I was BORED STIFF. It was like a Woody Allen film WITHOUT THE JOKES.

 

[Mats]

not everything in life is funny, Peeks. be sad a little

 

[Peekaboo]

I need my MIDDLE CLASSES to be at least SELF-AWARE of their privilege before TWO HOURS of NAVEL-GAZING!

 

[Mats]

this is Sweden we're talking about. they don't do self-awareness

 

[Phoenix]

 

[Jark]

they have insane chemistry. A Most Violent Year was great.

reviews for this are just OK but I'm sure I'll give it a shot

 

[Ellie]

they have insane chemistry. A Most Violent Year was great.

Definitely. I can’t think of another screen couple in the last 5-10 years with that kind of chemistry. I know Oscar Isaac is voicing animated Gomez, but we need a live action Addams Family with Chastain as Morticia too.
