Scènes de la vie conjugale: INNOCENCE AND PANIC

SYNOPSIS

Adapted from Ingmar Bergman's 1973 Swedish classic series, "Scenes from a Marriage" re-examines the show's iconic depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage, and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple.
A modern adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's classic Swedish series, HBO's five-part series "Scenes from a Marriage" explores love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage, and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple. Mira (Jessica Chastain) is a confident, ambitious tech executive left unfulfilled by her marriage, and Jonathan (Oscar Isaac) is a cerebral and accommodating philosophy professor desperate to keep their relationship intact. Throughout, "Scenes from a Marriage" mines the full complexity of Jonathan and Mira as individuals who ultimately know their marriage isn't being torn apart by any one event or flaw, resulting in a radically honest series that allows the audience to eavesdrop on private conversations between two people torn between feelings of hate and love.
