Cries and Whispers (1972)

Ingmar Bergman directs Harriet Andersson, Kari Sylwan and Liv Ullmann in this Swedish chamber piece drama where two sisters and a loving maid prepare for a death.

Bold red. Sexual assignations. Jealousies and disconnections. I got more out of this than most Bergmans, plus the ladies are hotties. Interesting that this came out at the same time as The Exorcist as they share a lot of the same visual set-ups and claustrophobia.
