The trauma, the shell shock, the PTSD, as your behaviour collapses and brings you to your knees, the stabbing, the grabbing, as your partner flees, the wounds that are sheared, the chaotic debris, the spiralling turmoil, that draws out the pain, adrenaline fires that burn and cause strain, the depths of despair that cascade down to hell, the trance that has started, the disconnects spell.

The pain of being pulled apart by those you love and trust.

Liv Ullman and Erland Josephson are truly outstanding in this far too believable evaluation of marriage by Ingmar Bergman where, if you have been married or in a relationship, you are sure to find some parallels.
