(aka 'Cries and Whispers')
Sweden 1972
Legendary director Ingmar Bergman creates a testament to the strength of the soul—and a film of absolute power. Karin and Maria come to the aid of their dying sister, Agnes, but jealousy, manipulation, and selfishness come before empathy. Agnes, tortured by cancer, transcends the pettiness of her sisters’ concerns to remember moments of being—moments that Bergman, with the help of Academy Award-winning cinematographer Sven Nykvist, translates into pictures of staggering beauty and unfathomable horror.

On initial viewing
this image looks excellent, but putting it under the microscope we
notice some minimally noticeable manipulations. Contrast, usually
Criterion's hallmark, is a shade out of sync here with the variance from
white to black being quite dramatic - I usually wouldn't be bothered but
I felt the darkness excluded some important details and the whites were
literally glowing. Color seems strong and Bergman's extreme close-ups
detail a bit of inconsistent grain and noise. There is an English DUB
included with the original Swedish audio and optional English subtitles.
I felt that the 52 minute interview with Bergman and Josephson was worth
the price of the disc alone. This DVD looks very good, but not as filmic
as one might expect. Still it is HD-sourced and anamorphic at a ratio at
1.68. No one will do this better than Criterion have done. A must-own
for Bergman fans and all cinema lovers.
