**Screenwriter**: Ingmar Bergman **Producers**: Lars-Owe Carlberg, Ingmar Bergman This existential wail of a drama from Ingmar Bergman concerns two sisters, Karin (Ingrid Thulin) and Maria (Liv Ullmann), keeping vigil for a third, Agnes (Harriet Andersson), who is dying of cancer and can find solace only in the arms of a beatific servant (Kari Sylwan). An intensely felt film that is one of Bergman’s most striking formal experiments, *Cries and Whispers* (which won an Oscar for the extraordinary color photography of Sven Nykvist) is a powerful depiction of human behavior in the face of death, positioned on the borders between reality and nightmare, tranquillity and terror. **Accessibility Options**: Open Captions, Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
