It is more straight forward and... well you could just look at my post on it here:<br />http://bloggingmoviesrus.blogspot.com/2012/05/scenes-from-scenes-from-marriage.htmlSteve Kimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187112520269562190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318433114559203724.post-8412678108432588682012-03-16T16:22:03.734-07:002012-03-16T16:22:03.734-07:00One aspect of Certified Copy I didn't get to i...One aspect of Certified Copy I didn't get to in the article is how relieved I was at the end of the film. They are so upset at each other throughout the whole film that when they became gentle and emotionally giving at the end, I broke down and cried. Manly tears, of course.Steve Kimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187112520269562190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318433114559203724.post-399421935124221732012-03-16T10:16:12.484-07:002012-03-16T10:16:12.484-07:00Great article Steve.

Exploring the empty aspects of their marriage was almost too much to bear.So maybe the film was doing its job after all.Sandy J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08621222023298592162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318433114559203724.post-79597585880654872472012-03-16T00:52:37.943-07:002012-03-16T00:52:37.943-07:00Well, I love the TV series.

I guess it depends on how much time you want to spend on it. :)Jessicahttp://www.thevelvetcafe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318433114559203724.post-82590270774393070382012-03-15T23:42:21.849-07:002012-03-15T23:42:21.849-07:00Well, I'm glad I was wrong about your opinion ...Well, I'm glad I was wrong about your opinion of Tree of Life. Because I didn't see you mention Melancholia I thought you just hadn't gotten around to it-- or that it wasn't in Sweden yet. Glad you appreciated them both!<br /><br />I loved your review of This Is Not a Film and that's the main reason I'm looking forward to it. It played one night here in Portland, but I was busy, so I couldn't see it. Hopefully it will pass through again.<br /><br />And I WILL see Scenes from a Marriage. I'm not a huge Bergman fan, but I have high hopes for it. Let me ask you: film or miniseries?Steve Kimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187112520269562190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318433114559203724.post-8538641953790863392012-03-15T23:32:57.458-07:002012-03-15T23:32:57.458-07:00Aren't you the sweetest?
You're the secon...Aren't you the sweetest?<br /><br />You're the second one urging me to give Certified Copy a new chance, so I guess it's easier to just comply than keep fighting it. It might take a few months though; my watching queue is a bit crowded. <br /><br />You're dead wrong about the other movies you're mentioning though. I watched The Tree of Life and gave it a 4/5. It was among my top 20 last year. http://thevelvetcafe.wordpress.com/2011/08/04/a-movie-about-live-the-universe-and-everything/<br /><br />And Melancholia was my number 5 of 2011. I haven't written longish about it since I watched it before I started to blog, back in June, but I've mentioned it a few times and I think it was a 4,5/5 in my book.<br /><br />I also liked A Separation a lot, but for different reasons than many others. And I'm a big fan of This is Not a Film.<br /><br />Just so you know!<br /><br />And you sir should watch Scenes from a Marriage!Jessicahttp://www.thevelvetcafe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
