Cries and Whispers

CRIES AND WHISPERS (1972) - Dec. 5, 2004 (Second Viewing)
Another unpleasant, ultra slow-paced Ingmar Bergman movie. About a woman who is dying, and the effect this has on her two sisters and her servant. Features a very heavy-handed use of colour ("Say, red's a powerful colour. Let's make everything red!"). Has Ingmar Bergman ever made a movie with characters who aren't miserable and suicidal? *1/2
