Marianne (Liv Ullmann) visits her now reclusive ex, Johan (Erland Josephson) – the real McCoy when it comes to paternal cruelty – who treats his grown son Henryk with disdain while adoring the latter’s daughter Karin.
The real McCoy when it comes to paternal cruelty, Bergman's 'belated sequel' to Scenes from a Marriage has Marianne (Liv Ullmann) visiting her now reclusive ex Johan (Erland Josephson), who treats his grown son Henryk with disdain while adoring
the latter's daughter Karin. In a series of superbly written and performed dialogues, Bergman draws out the poison infecting the various relationships, offering an all-too-plausible portrait of family life as hell on earth.
