Cries and Whispers (1972)
Blood Red
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Buy Cries and Whispers on DVD. Reportedly, the 83 year-old Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman is returning to the helm this year to make a sequel to his 1973 Scenes from a Marriage. In the meanwhile, fans can enjoy his amazing 1972 masterpiece Cries and Whispers, starring Liv Ullmann, and recently released on a spectacular DVD by the Criterion Collection ($29.95). Strictly a black-and-white man up to that point, this was one of Bergman's first forays into color. He knocks us out using stark reds to illustrate this claustrophobic story of two sisters dealing with a third sister's dying of cancer. The great Sven Nykvist rightly won an Oscar for Best Cinematography. DVD Details: The DVD also contains a recent 52-minute doc made for Swedish television on Bergman's long collaboration with actor Erland Josephson.
