Leave your thoughts about From the Life of the Marionettes.
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe subject of this Ingmar Bergman film is repression, but everything is dismayingly on the surface. |
| The SpectatorPeter AckroydThe film is very restrained, rather cool, and with an unabashed fluency of direction which prevents it from becoming enmired in the stickier reaches of the Scandinavian soul. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatFrom the Life of the Marionettes zeroes in on one troubled marriage and the ambiguities of human sexuality. |

| User ReviewTutti DBergman mindfucks you again, and you keep coming back for more - some of the dialogues in 'Marionettes' are memorably, and deliciously, depressing |

| User ReviewDimitris ROut of accident, I watched this bluddy great movie of Bergman and I was shocked. Firstly, because it isn't as famous as some of his previous works, secondly because the psychological study of self is for the first time so open and audience-friendly and thirdly, because this is one of the smartest movies that the cinema produced in the 80s.. Excellent! |
