Review of Marriage Story (2019) by Mauro_Lanari — 02 Feb 2020

(Mauro Lanari).

Since statistics show that "arranged marriages" last longer than "love marriages", this nineteenth-century and Victorian invention of ours would deserve at least a minimum of deepening. The suggested hypothesis is that interpersonal affective relationships can't not fail because, before that, there would be an unresolved infrapersonal conflict, the "Spaltung" a.k.a. inner splitting. Therefore a mumblecore that merely describes the phenomenology of such failure as already too many previous film is just useful to mitigate the frustration of those who identify with the couple of protagonists.
