A film by Mr. Pretentious

Cries and Whispers is far too pretentious too be taken seriously. The fact that Ingmar Bergman is still regarded as a masterful director is one of those big mysteries in cinema. Sadly Bergman's films spanned during the 50's all the way up to the 80's, shame, as Bergman could have really made it into today's generation; with its silly emotional silliness, confronting life's many many flaws, but I'm... read more

""A family drama takes place in a mansion in the late 1800's. Karin and Maria watch over their sister Agnes' sickbed together with the servant Anna. Through flashbacks the lives of both sisters are described, which are full of lies, deceit, callousness, self despise, guilt and forbidden love. Agnes' dramatic death cramp arouses only aversion in them. They both retreat in their own way from her when she grasps for their hands.""

Sadly Bergman's films spanned during the 50's all the way up to the 80's, shame, as Bergman could have really made it into today's generation; with its silly emotional silliness, confronting life's many many flaws, but I'm sorry to say things such as this are absurd and should not be taken seriously at all.

This is just a film for artsies, I wouldn't watch it.

Utter pretentious garbage.” read more

Movie Diary - January 2013 (11 movies items)

"OmU - Swedish with English subtitles Ingmar Bergmann created with Cries and Whispers again a greatly tense and strange atmosphere. There are just a few moviemakers who manage to make their movies like that. It fascinated me how Bergmann accomplished the colour red as golden thread (I'm a little bit disappointed I'm not writing in German now, because the idiom "golden thread" means literally translated: red thread. That would've been a great play of words ;) )."
