Scenes from a Marriage

Monday, 9pm, Sky Atlantic

This modern reimagining of Ingmar Bergman’s Swedish drama from 1973 tells of a couple called Jonathan and Mia, played by Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, who meet, fall in love, get married, temporarily separate and reconcile. Spanning ten years and running over the course of four hour-long episodes, the original mini-series drew on Bergman’s own relationship experiences and this outing promises to be no less intimate and visceral in its explorations of all that love can bring.
