Nine of the Most Explosive Divorces in Cinema

Not every relationship movie is about the happy ending. Some choose to look at the end of a marriage, not the beginning, which is why – in something of an antidote to the romance of Valentine's Day – BBC Radio 4's Screenshot is focusing on divorces on screen.
Sometimes bitter, sometimes liberating, very occasionally fatal – divorce has been explored to both comic and sometimes devastating effect throughout the history of cinema. Hosts Mark Kermode and Ellen E Jones examine the many depictions of couples parting ways, from the screwball comedies of the 1930s to the heartbreakingly bitter-sweet drama of 2019's Marriage Story, starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson.
Here are nine of the most memorable splits in the movies.
