Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je analizirati seriju Ingmara Bergmana Prizori iz bračnog života (1973.) i
njezinu adaptaciju redatelja Hagaija Levija (2021.) Oba se redatelja bave uzrocima i
posljedicama raspada jednog braka, partnerima kao individualcima i njihovom ljubavi. Za
Bergmana je ključan uzrok neizbježno prihvaćanje društvenih uloga, normi i raznih konvencija
to što vodi do gubitka spoznaje o samom sebi, vlastitim željama, potrebama i osjećajima. U
Levijevoj adaptaciji, skoro 50 godina kasnije, mnoge se stvari mijenjaju s obzirom na vremenski
odmak i promjene u društvu. U njegovu su slučaju glavni uzroci društvena uređenja, točnije
kapitalizam i konzumerizam, i s druge strane religija i poteškoće balansiranja tradicionalnog
vjerskog života sa suvremenim životom 21. stoljeća. Zbog raspada braka, protagonisti obiju
serija postaju reflektivni i otkrivaju obrasce koji ih sputavaju, te tako ponovno stvaraju prostor za
ljubav, prihvaćanje jedno drugoga i sebe samih.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this work was to analyze Ingmar Bergman's series Scenes from a marriage (1973)
and its adaptation directed by Hagai Levi (2021). Both directors deal with the causes and
consequences of a divorce, partners as individuals and their love. For Bergman, the key cause is
the inevitable acceptance of social roles, norms and various conventions, which leads to the loss
of knowledge about oneself, one's own desires, needs and feelings. In Levi's adaptation, almost
50 years later, many things have changed considering time context and changes in the society. In
his case, the main causes are social orders, specifically capitalism and consumerism, and on the
other hand, religion and the difficulty of balancing traditional life with the modern life of the 21 st
century. As a result of the divorce, the protagonists of both series become reflective and discover
the patterns that hold them back, thus re-creating the space for love and acceptance of each other
and themselves.
