Venue: National Centre for the Performing Arts
In 1973, Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann finally broke up despite their marriage bonds that had lasted for years. Later, Bergman spent several months on screenwriting to describe a couple's moments of life for more than two decades and the film Scenes De La Vie Conjugale was shot. Bergman once again impresses everyone with his dazzling filmmaking.
The drama is adapted from Bergman's classic creation, which focuses on the intimacy in fixed scenes and highlight primitive life conditions after unnecessary superficial whitewashes are eliminated. Both lovers not only attract each other and get weary of each other, but also feel eager and disgusted. Sex, lies, compromise, isolation and despair behind the betrayals are revealed. The two protagonists present in a single scene like an arena for fighting. They give vent to the innermost world and entangle with each other.
All their throbbing, strength and contradictions intertwine together. Such perspectives are the real experiences of humans. No subjective judgment and peeping take place. Every audience can project their own experiences on the scenes they witness to enrich the great work.
