    Only Anna, the only one who has ever experienced the loss of a daughter, would embrace a dead man in the pose of the Virgin like Pietà, and care for Agnes for many years who said it was not her other daughter. The moment the ward door opened and closed was like the separation between heaven and hell that opened and closed, and Anna was the gatekeeper. The scarlet color throughout the article has no "human" temperature, and the dying parents cannot awaken the consciousness of the living dead....

    That is, when he touches death, Bergman reveals soft emotions between the lines, the endless bells, the immobile mansion, the blood-red drapery, and a face that is half dark and half light. The setting of multiple protagonists makes the story extremely light and balanced. The poetic Bergman is also more generous and compassionate than the magical one. Nyquist's light and shadow are so beautiful and expressive. - Film Forum...

    Every time I watch Bergman, I have a sense of despair that Eurydice returns to the underworld on his way back to the world. The ability to love and the power to be loved were taken away from his soul little by little, leaving the dead walking dead. I have never felt that red can be so depressing. Since you allow the whole world to sink, why do you still leave a ray of life at the end? Being born as a human is already an original sin, and it would be cruel to refuse to...

    In the last ten minutes of the movie, I thought the director had lost his mind before the last ten minutes, so I decided to write a long...

    #BJIFF2018# The close-up of the human face has repeatedly broken the fourth wall, and fell from the first gaze. They cried out to me in pain and grieved, and when they whispered in delirium, I was full of scratching like ants, the oppression of the picture, The resonance of the sound perfectly completes the eruption of emotions, and in the red-green, indoor-outdoor contrast, the contradictions of reality-memories, pain-beauty are seen, and there is a flow in the whole...

    Re-watch; the red that is spread out in large areas symbolizes fierce disputes, and the black and white costumes represent indifference and rejection. The facial close-up of the painful cry at the time of the onset tore the disguise in one fell swoop, "I never loved you", so the stroking and hugging are delusions. Lost communication and understanding, the swing talk in the autumn only exists in the...

    The story, which should be full of dramatic tension, was dealt with coldly by Bergman's quiet camera language, which made me feel bored when watching the movie. —— The shouts are sometimes too frequent and a bit harsh, and the whispers are continuous but rarely heartfelt. —— I'm glad that I can love movies so much in my life, but no matter how much I love it, I can't love/like all the recognized masterpieces! Just like loving someone, you cannot love/like him (love yourself)...

    View on the night train bound for Paris on the eve of Christmas Eve. God has given us abundance and abundance of suffering. The colorful Bergman-style interior dramas with slow and dignified transitions are all in Bergman's control. The emotional representation of the frozen face looming in the movement of light and shadow is still the motif of ineffective communication and occlusion of emotions, but it is even more terrifying because of the entry point of family affection. Bergman never seemed...

    Almodovar's high heels also deal with the feelings and relationships between women, which is far behind Bergman's...

Cries & Whispers quotes

  • David: Come here, Marie. Come. Look in the mirror. You're beautiful. Perhaps even more than when we were together. But you've changed and I want you to see how. Now your eyes cast quick, calculating, side glances. You used to look ahead straightforwardly, openly, without disguise. Your mouth has a slightly hungry, dissatisfied expression. It used to be so soft. Your complexion is pale now. You wear makeup. Your fine, wide brow has four lines above each eye now. You can't see them in this light, but you can in the bright of day. You know what caused those lines?

    Maria: No.

    David: Indifference. And this fine contour from your ear to your chin is no longer so finely drawn - the result of too much comfort and laziness. And there, by the bridge of your nose. Why do you sneer so often? You see that? You sneer too often. You see it? And look under your eyes. The sharp, scarcely noticeable wrinkles from your boredom and impatience.

    Maria: Can you really see all that there?

    David: No, but I feel it when you kiss me.

    Maria: I think you're joking with me. I know where you see it.

    David: Where?

    Maria: In yourself. Because you and I are so alike.

    David: You mean in our selfishness, coldness and indifference?

  • Maria: You've changed. Is there someone else?

    David: There always is. Besides, I thought the problem didn't interest you.

    Maria: It doesn't.
