From the Life of the Marionettes
Aus dem Leben der Marionetten
The Woman He's About to Touch is a Dream. The Murder He's About to Commit is Not.
Made during Bergman's tax-related exile in Germany, the film continues the story of Katarina and Peter EGermann, the feuding, childless, professional couple who appear in one episode of 'Scenes From A Marriage.' After Peter perpetrates a horrendous crime in its first scene, the rest of the film consists of a non-linear examination of his motivations, incorporating a police psychological investigation, scenes from the EGermanns' married life, and dream sequences.
