Cries and Whispers

Ingmar Bergman wrote and directed this masterpiece about the human soul as it deals with love, life and death. The story of three sisters and their loyal maid as they struggle with disease and death. It's one of the most profound and spiritual films ever, shocking and touching at the same time as Bergman enters the dark corridors of the soul like never before or after. Bergman and partner in crime Sven Nykvist, his frequent cinematographer, also do color like no other with the glorious use of the color red that the film is drenched in. A spectacular cast that includes Bergman regulars, Liv Ullmann, Ingrid Thulin, Harriet Andersson and Erland Josephson along with Kari Sylwan who holds her own among the greats.YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
