Review of Cries and Whispers (1972) by Michael L — 06 Jun 2007
Cries and Whispers is one of the best looking films I have ever seen. Sven Nykvist 's photography reminded me of Caravaggio. Absolutely stunning, but this film is so full of pain. Emotional and physical pain (the self mutilation scene is unbelievable).
Bergman plays on that pain with the color from the red walls, red floors, and even red furniture. He even starts out each woman's story with red color. This is one of Bergman's best films.
