Editorial
Cries and Whispers sees Bergman embracing his powerful and sophisticated use of color—the perplexing intensity of the reds and the whites in this film remains unparalleled. Beware: this feverish, sumptuous exploration of human monstrosity is perhaps not a horror film, but a film about horror.
