"A dice roll—it could have been L’avventura or La notte, but I rewatched this recently and was blown away by Antonioni’s mastery and control, and his epic nihilistic vision of upper-middle-class despair is sweeping and unrivaled. Alain Delon and Monica Vitti are the most gorgeous couple in ’60s international cinema—embalmed and yet completely alive. The trilogy is one of the great achievements in twentieth-century film."

Movie Favorite

"The television (read: long) version of Bergman’s X-ray of a married couple is, of course, insightful, heartbreaking, painfully true, and oddly hilarious, but it’s also one very unexpected thing: riveting. Put the first episode on at a decent hour and see if you can stop watching the entire set. It’s like the Swedish 24, except you can still go to parties and claim not to watch television."

This looked interesting from the trailer, a Sky Original comedy, drama with a strong cast. It's very short at 6 episodes and each barely 30 minutes long. It does pack a lot of funny scenes and dialogue in each episode. It was very witty just a shame it's so short. One to blast through in a couple of viewings.

Absolutely beautiful artistic renditions throughout. Amazing soundtrack. Great story. Being from the same folks who brought us Your Name, I had very high hopes. I wasn't disappointed, but there were a couple of elements present that I didn't think added much and maybe even detracted a bit, which is why I stopped short of offering a full TEN rating. Still remains a wonderful work that should be checked out.

Huh

This messed with my head at the beginning. I had no idea what was going on but it was explained eventually in various scenes from fourteen years ago and we learn the grisly truth. Not pretty reading at all.

As much as I grew to like our couple I think it went on a bit too long, and the sex scenes weren't as exciting by the end.
