CRIES AND WHISPERS

Original French 31 inch x 46 inch Poster for the 1972 Ingmar Bergman Drama CRIES AND WHISPERS (VISKNINGAR OCH ROP) starring Harriet Andersson, Ingrid Thulin, Kari Sylwan, Liv Ullmann, Erland Josephson, Anders Ek, Henning Moritzen, Georg Årlin, Ingmar Bergman, Ingrid Sandell, Ingrid Bergman and Linn Ullmann.

This existential wail of a drama 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 by Sven Nykvist) is a powerful depiction of human behaviour in the face of death, positioned on the borders between reality and nightmare, tranquility and terror.

The poster is in very good folded condition with minor edge nicks.
