"Cry and Whisper" is a color film by Bergman. The director embraced the arrival of color film behind the times, but this did not stop him from using color in a dignified manner. Anyone who has seen this film will be deeply impressed by the strong red, elegant black and white in her...

The film uses bright red as a whole, but it does not show strong emotions, but it is like dripping blood. The icy white and the gloomy black are highlighted.

Family conflicts led to the reconstruction of the Christian faith. Agnes, who was suffering from illness, was like Jesus tied up on the cross. Jesus’ martyrdom was to reunite believers, while Agnes’s martyrdom was to fill his own "believers." The emotional lack of Anna’s breastfeeding to Agnes can be understood as the identity of Anna as a Virgin Mary as an ordinary mother, and it can also be understood as Anna being redeemed by Jesus as a "believer" to fill the pain of bereavement. And in Anna’s breastfeeding and the gaze and touch with her mother, Agnes’s mysterious and solemn image of her mother transformed into an amiable and helpless image, and a arrogant and strong Karin, and a smooth as water Marley. Ya, the former simply wants to swallow and does not give in and is unwilling to be fully exposed, while the latter blindly flows down and whitewashes himself with the majesty of the earth. This contradictory character cannot be redeemed even for the "Resurrection of Jesus" and cannot achieve a balance. From this we can see Bergman’s religious view at this time, that is, salvation is mutual but cannot change and reconcile human nature. The ending is the utopia of Jesus and the spiritual baptism of believers.

Like the title, the emotional expression of the entire play is to wander between the cry of grief and the whispers of memory. Master Bergman sculpts the film like a work of art, including the use of large blocks of red, black and white in aesthetics. The beauty of the rigorous construction, the expression of the actors' emotional subtleties captured by a large number of facial close-ups, etc., is a great piece.
