Shouting and whispering

Needless to say, the use of tones is a feature of this film. Whether it is a red background, white coat or black dress, and the light and dark tones that distinguish the memory of dreams and reality, they are very successful. A large number of close-ups of the face are also intended to capture the inner character of the character. The exposing scenes are extremely tense, and the front and back shots are as distressing as the whispers and shouts of other people’s separation and alienation. The so-called tension is that even if you feel the depression deeply, even the breath is too soft or thick without consciously, but you can't stop it, you can only be attracted to see the end... and then silent, cold, thinking... …
Everyone has two sides, the shouting side and the whispering side, eager to peek into the hearts of others, but repeatedly refuse to open themselves, so the shouting is blocked by their own closed heart, gradually forming a red, and finally people are submerged in it. Unable to distinguish, it became a whisper like a mosquito.

    This is the work of the master Bergman 40 years ago. Love is not words, words are lies, love is touching and hugging, and those who are tormented by illness yearn for this kind of love even more. Although I don't understand what kind of social environment has created such a cold group of perverts (only the maid Annie is a normal person), I can understand the desire to get rid of loneliness, love each other and understand each other.

    #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 process.

Cries & Whispers quotes

  • Karin: Anna. You hear that?

    Anna: I hear only the wind and the ticking of the clocks.

    Karin: No. It's something else.

    Anna: I don't hear anything else.

    Karin: I'm freezing. Good night.

  • Isak: Agnes, my dear child, listen to what I tell you now. Pray for those of us left behind on this dark and miserable earth beneath a cruel and empty sky. Lay your suffering at God's feet and plead with him to pardon us. Plead with him to free us of our anxiety, our weariness, and our deepest doubts. Plead with him to give meaning to our lives.
