Memories of a Marriage
1989 · 87 MIN · IMDB 7.1 · 818 VOTES · DIR. Kaspar Rostrup
Overview
Karl Åge and Regitze host a summer garden party for close friends, their son, and his family. Karl Åge is quiet, detached; Regitze is spirited, lively. He thinks back: love at first sight during the war, living together unmarried, her mother's hunger strike when they won't baptize their son. Regitze is passionate and forthright; she speaks her mind. He remembers her inviting a derelict for Christmas dinner, and the man shows up with five bashful friends. He recalls her taking on their son's teacher when the man slaps the lad. He remembers her love of dancing and his fear that his social clumsiness might end their relationship. Now, in twilight, he has other things to face.

00:27:19 We have to be firm, Karl Aage!
00:30:38 Oh, you moved, Karl Aage. And it was almost a wrap.
00:33:42 Hurry up, Regitze. We're starving.
00:36:29 You'll put up with the injustice as long as it doesn't happen again?
00:40:30 Oh, sorry.
00:43:24 You're supposed to be smart. How did you get mixed up in this?
00:46:13 You could call him.
00:50:01 We're having coffee... in-between.
00:53:09 - She knows that. - Help me gather some clothes.
00:57:37 Cheers!
01:02:46 But if only we got five years together I'd be satisfied with life.
01:07:21 - You had your books to write. - Did you buy it 30 years ago?
01:09:38 Get yourself that garden or something. Just do something!
01:11:50 We've stuck together for as long as I can remember.
01:15:56 I think... I think our time for the most part has been good.
01:21:26 Or out to dinner. Or to one of the exhibitions you like.
