...Verdi's Otello. To be fair, Bergman usually knows how cliched his situations are, and he often satirizes them in clever ways.

But any marriage which is turned in upon itself, in which the bride and groom simply gaze obsessively at one another, goes sour after a time. A marriage which really works is one which works for others ... If we solved all our economic problems and failed to build loving families, it would profit us nothing, because the family is the place where the future is created good and full of love-or deformed...
