Scenes from a Marriage
Written, directed, and executive produced by Hagai Levi (Our Boys, The Affair, HBO’s In Treatment), Scenes from a Marriage is a modern adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's classic Swedish series of the same name, centering on Mira (Jessica Chastain), a confident, ambitious tech executive left unfulfilled by her marriage, and Jonathan (Oscar Isaac), an accommodating, hyper-intellectual philosophy professor desperate to keep their relationship intact. The five-part limited series re-examines the dilemmas probed by the original, and flips the script on traditional gender roles to explore love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage, and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple.
When Mira returns from a business trip with a crushing revelation, she and Jonathan struggle to process the complicated aftershock.
Oscar Isaac discusses his thought process playing Jonathan in Episode 2, “Poli.”
Jonathan and Mira share all that they've learned since separating, rekindling old connections at the risk of exacerbating dormant wounds.
