Cries and Whispers
Dir: Ingmar Bergman
Sweden, 1973, 91minmins, DCP
Cast: Harriet Andersson, Kari Sylwan, Ingrid Thulin, Liv Ullmann
Enveloped in a crimson membrane of passion and fear, the dying Agnes reaches out in vain for consolation in her two sisters, Karin and Maria, whose caring touch is nothing but a parody. Stuck in nightmares, her only solace is lying in the embracing arms of her religious maid Anna. In striking color photography, Bergman tears open the anguish red of the soul – from hate, disgust, to the intolerable fear of death. An unparalleled masterpiece that is hypnotic, distressing and yet surprisingly hopeful – life can be perfect, if only for a few minutes.
