Heartbreaking Trailer for HBO Limited Series SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE Starring Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac
HBO has released a heartbreaking trailer for their heavy emotional drama Scenes From a Marriage. The limited series is a remake of the 1974 film, and it “re-examines the original's iconic depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple.”
The series was written and directed by Hagai Levi, the creator of Showtime’s The Affair and the Israeli drama that inspired In Treatment.
I have to say, this looks like a major bummer. I am reminded of the 2019 Oscar-winning film Marriage Story, which captured the heartbreak, as well as the humanity and mercy and love two people can have for one another during and after a divorce. I hope this series does it as well as that film did. I have a lot of faith in the two actors. I just hope the story is as good. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think.
Scenes From a Marriage will begin on HBO on September 12, 2021.
