Schreie und Flüstern
Inspired by Bergman's mother, Karin Åkerblom, and his vision of four women in a red room, "Cries and Whispers" was filmed at Taxinge-Näsby Castle in 1971. Its themes include faith, the female psyche and the search for meaning in suffering, and academics have found Biblical allusions. Unlike previous Bergman films, it uses saturated colour, crimson in particular.
