Matrimony takes it on the chin in Ingmar Bergman's classic 1974 portrait of a marriage starring Erland Josephson and Liv Ullmann as a happily wedded couple of 10 years. Things fall apart very quickly when it becomes apparent that Josephson is having an affair with a younger woman (Bibi Andersson). Although there are a handful of misspelled words and untranslated sections, this subtitled version--available for the first time on home video--is still a steal at $39.95, and is highly recommended.
