''From the Life of the Marionettes'' (''Aus dem Leben der Marionetten'') is a 1980 film by Swedish director Creator/IngmarBergman, made in West Germany. Bergman shot it in German language engaging German actors and none of his regular cast.

The film tells a story of the married couple, Peter and Katerina whose marital life is on the verge of collapse. Peter's dissatisfaction with their relationship finds its way out when he kills a prostitute who strongly reminds him of the wife.

* ContinuityNod: Seems that Peter and Katarina are the same people as the characters in ''Film/ScenesFromAMarriage'' played by Jan Malmsjö and Bibi Andersson.

* DepravedHomosexual: Tim was lusts after Peter so he tries to corrupt him and makes him know a prostitute. He believes that after the experience with a hooker Peter will shift away from his wife and then they'll start a relationship.

He thinks that Peter in fact is a latent gay whose homosexuality was suppressed by the bourgeois millieu.
