Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })From the Life of the Marionettes (Aus dem Leben der Marionetten) is a 1980 horror film by Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, made in West Germany. Bergman shot it in German language engaging German actors and none of his regular cast.The film explores the circumstances leading up to middle-class businessman Peter Egerman's seemingly unmotivated murder of a prostitute. After witnessing the act in the film's opening moments we follow a series of vignettes as Peter's friends and family give their perspective on his declining mental health in recent weeks, including his wife and mother. Bergman's only German language film, it was made during his self-imposed tax exile; originally aired exclusively on German TV, it remains one of the director's darkest and least-seen films.

Darker and Edgier//Hotter and Sexier: The film is much grittier than many of Bergman's other films, and includes many overtly horrific elements. Along with Hour of the Wolf and perhaps The Virgin Spring, it's one of his only horror movies.

Bookends: The film both starts and ends in colour. It is only several minutes in both cases. The bulk of the movie is monochrome.

Defiled Forever: Tim thinks that if Peter sleeps with a prostitute, the guilt will forever warp his mind.

Continuity Nod: Peter and Katarina are the same people as the characters in Scenes from a Marriage played by Jan Malmsjö and Bibi Andersson.

Dark and Troubled Past: A middle-class version. Peter Egermann was not abused but rather suppressed and disciplined by his domineering mother.
