Recent viewing has included Ingmar Bergman’s cheezily named but nevertheless strong Cries & Whispers. It’s my least favourite Bergman film thus far, but nevertheless ranks highly among other Criterion films. Bits will probably float to the surface in my nightmares for some time, although I’m not sure if the surreal corpse dream sequence (which intentionally throws all POV considerations to the wind) or a certain character’s hungry and erotic clitoral self-mutilations will feature more heavily. Both disturbed me greatly on first viewing.
