| Summary: | This existential wail of a drama from Ingmar Bergman concerns two sisters, Karin and Maria, keeping vigil for a third, Agnes, who is dying of cancer and can find solace only in the arms of a beatific servant. An intensely felt film that is one of Bergman's most striking formal experiments, CRIES AND WHISPERS is a powerful depiction of human behavior in the face of death, positioned on the borders between reality and nightmare, tranquillity and terror. **Academy Award** winner for Best Cinematography and nominee for Best Picture. Nominated for a **Golden Globe** for Best Foreign-Language Foreign Film. Winner of a Technical Grand Prize at the **Cannes Film Festival**. "*It stands alone and it reduces almost everything else you're likely to see this season to the size of a small cinder.*" Vincent Canby, ***The New York Times*** |
