Performers
“Men and women just don’t mix…”—and yet they have to get along with each other every day. When the breakfast egg is overcooked as the first thing in the morning and opinions differ in the evening about how to spend the rest of the night, things get dicey. This is exactly what Loriot captured so perfectly in his legendary *Scenes from a Marriage*, released in 1983. His keen sense of human interaction and the humor in everyday communication reveal Loriot as a sharp-witted connoisseur of all-too-human comedies.
As a tribute to the grand master of humor, two giants of the stage and screen—Senta Berger and Friedrich von Thun—come together to breathe life and laughter into these scenes. Together and against each other, they grapple with the stumbling blocks that everyday life throws in their path—and, of course, with the insurmountable pitfalls of a romantic relationship. After all, as Loriot himself once said, “A happy marriage is one in which she’s a little blind and he’s a little deaf.”
