HBO’s ‘Scenes From a Marriage’ Is Bleak but Unmissable

I’ll admit it, I did not approach Israeli writer-director Hagai Levi’s five-part adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s 1973 TV series “Scenes from a Marriage” with any sense of anticipation. In fact, I’ve approached dental appointments and colonoscopies with more enthusiasm – though quite why the dentist was performing a colonoscopy is a question the medical board is still awaiting an answer to.
