Viskningar och Rop plot

"Four women dressed in white in a mansion painted red... haunted by whispers and cries."

A family drama set in a mansion in the late nineteenth century. Karin and Maria watch at the sickbed of their sister Agnes. Flashbacks describe the lives of both sisters, which are full of lies, deceit, jealousy, self-loathing, guilt and forbidden love. Agnes' dramatic death cramps only stir up aversion in them. They both withdraw from her in their own way as she grabs their hands.

My second attempt to get through to Ingmar Bergman's work, but again it's not entirely for me. It's all too much theatricality for me, too much expression, too much symbolism, too bombastic. I am probably doing serious violence to the grandmaster here, because at the same time I also see what the director's legendary status is due to.

A rather uncomfortable film by Bergman where the silences were broken by the screams of the hurting and dying Agnes. She is guarded by her sisters and maid, but it soon becomes clear that the past has created a certain resentment between them.

Fine directing work by Bergman with beautiful shots. A film that made me feel gloomy, not knowing how to deal with the family situation, a situation over which I, as a viewer, obviously had no control or influence.

It is something to look for in Bergman's films. I can certainly understand that the man had his influence on other directors. He also has a distinct style that can be visually harsh at times and full of symbolism. Also in this Cries and Whispers I see a visually interesting film. But it is not enjoyable. It's all quite distant. Even for a viewer like me who likes the older European films and theatrical acting, this is not an easy film. With this film it is therefore rather a slight admiration for the unique approach, but as a viewer of a film that moves you, it is rather a difficult ride.
