What is Scenes From a Marriage about?
Directed by Hagai Levi, best known for co-creating the hit Dominic West series The Affair, the miniseries follows husband and wife Jonathan and Mira as their marriage begins to fall apart.
It is a remake of the Swedish original from the 70s, which was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ingmar Bergman and starring his ex-partner Liv Ullman in the role that the Crimson Peak star now takes on. As the official synopsis reads, the reboot reexamines the "depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple".
