Where is Scenes from a Marriage (1973) streaming?

With the premiere of HBO’s latest drama series Scenes from a Marriage just one day away, you might be wondering about the original, directed by Ingmar Bergman and released in 1973. The new show is a remake of the Swedish miniseries, which was later turned into a theatrical movie version and saw a ton of success all those years ago. The drama earned the award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 1975 Golden Globes.

Scenes from a Marriage (2021) stars the wonderful duo of Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac and is written and directed by Hagai Levi (The Affair, In Treatment). Similar to its predecessor, the new American show follows a husband and wife as they go through common trials and tribulations couples face in a marriage, and work through what life throws at them. From having children to navigating gender roles, the 2021 series is a modern version of the original and, after seeing the first episode, I can promise you it’s worth the watch.
