If this discussion piqued your curiosity you should know that a) This movie is on the Criterion Channel and b) it's quite short. Take 90 minutes to check it off your list.
What's up, Keith? The people might want to know that the film's Bergman/Rossellini predecessors, STROMBOLI and EUROPA '51, are also up on the Channel. Haven't seen either of those myself.
I have seen STROMBOLI but not EUROPA '51. Soon... (This probably speaks to how much of my knowledge of the world comes from movies, nut it wasn't until I saw STROMBOLI that I realized tuna are _huge_! I honestly had no idea.)
Well well I just yesterday got an email, "For a limited time, we’re offering new subscribers 20% off their first year of an annual subscription. Sign up now with the promo code FALL20 and save!"
This was a first-time watch for me earlier this year, after CHALLENGERS got me kind of interested in Can This Marriage Be Saved? movies. I liked it! (Far better than DIVORCE ITALIAN STYLE which was a first-time watch for me last night.) I do think I'll need a revisit to fully decide if the quick resolution feels shallow, or if stronger roots are teased throughout.
Really loved George Sanders — and Bergman, but his range here (still limited) was more surprising to me. And as I noted at the time, they should use this at the Gottman Institute to demonstrate the four horsemen that can predict the end of a relationship. Pretty sure they're all indulged, more than once!
Managed to catch the last 15 minutes or so thanks to Criterion 24/7. Their about-face at the end did strike me as sudden, so I'll have to watch it from the beginning to get the full context.
I just caught up with this one a couple nights ago so I could read this. The turnaround at the end was a bit jarring for me but that comment from Scott about how their marriage now has about equal chances of success or failure and this is a call to action really helped sort it in my mind.
I also appreciated both Keith's note about its length (I've been sorting the S&S movies I haven't seen by length so I know when I can fit one in) and the comparisons to Eyes Wide Shut, which I haven't seen but am planning on watching as part of my personal "Hey 1999 was 25 years ago!" project I've been conducting.
