		It's as if "Cries and Whispers," made in 1972, brought him to the end of his attempts to lance the wound of his suffering; his later films draw back into more realism, more sensible memories of his life and failings (for no director is more consistently autobiographical).
		"Cries and Whispers" was photographed by Sven Nykvist, his longtime cinematographer, in a house where the wallpaper, rugs and curtains are all a deep blood red.
		When "Cries and Whispers" was released, it had an impact greater than any other Bergman film except for "The Seventh Seal" and "Persona." In an extraordinary achievement for a foreign film, it won Academy nominations for best picture, director, screenplay and cinematography.

		Cries and Whispers is built from the simplest of premises: two wealthy women, both trapped in loveless marriages, return home to the family estate to comfort their dying sister.
		Despite the devastating farewell between Karin and Marie and the total failure of the church to bring solace, Cries and Whispers does have a happy ending, or at least by Bergman's standards.
		The greatest compliment I can give Cries and Whispers is that it is a profoundly religious film, by which I mean that it is deeply concerned, first and foremost, with the struggles of the human condition in light of the presence — or, in Bergman's case, the absence — of God.
