Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. Each episode of Season 5: 1973 features a discussion about films that were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint, whether published on physical media or made available on their streaming platform. In this episode, David has 1:1 conversations with four different guests (returning: Derek J. Power and Jordan Essoe, with Michael Palli and Imani Payne making their first visits to the podcast) to hear their thoughts about Scenes From a Marriage, directed by Ingmar Bergman. Two different edits of the film available on Blu-ray and DVD from the Criterion Collection, included in the Ingmar Bergman’s Cinema box set, and also available in the Criterion Channel’s streaming library.
