Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cries and Whispers is a 1972 film directed by Ingmar Bergman.This Bergman movie is set in a vague time frame that seems like the latter 19th century. Sisters Maria (Liv Ullmann) and Karin (Ingrid Thulin) have returned to their old family home, to stand vigil at the deathbed of a third sister, Agnes (Harriet Andersson). Maria and Karin both have husbands but the only other main character is Anna (Kari Sylwan), the family maid, who cares tenderly for pain-wracked Agnes. As Agnes suffers through a slow and painful death, her sisters go through their own emotional crises in which they confront their selfishness and inability to love.Only the third foreign-language film to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, losing to The Sting. Distributed in America by none other than Roger Corman. | |

All There in the Manual: Bergman wrote a preface to the script that conveyed some interesting information not mentioned in the film. Agnes is 37 years old. Karin is two years older. Maria is simply said to be the youngest. Anna is "around 30". Karin has five children. The only time in the film where there's even the suggestion of her having children is a line from Maria to her near the end ("Give the children my love and keep well."), and given the context one might think Maria is being sarcastic. In the film, Agnes remembers how she and Maria got along with their mother, but there's no information on Karin on this front. In the script, Agnes says that their mother disliked Karin the most, confirming her as The Un-Favourite. Agnes and Anna practically raised Anna's daughter together. | |

Act of True Love: Karin and Maria may be Agnes's blood relatives, but only Anna loves her enough to reach out to her suddenly undead self and comfort her. | |
