Schreie und Flüstern
In 1970s European cinema, the failure of the Prague Spring brought about nostalgic motion pictures such as István Szabó's "Szerelmesfilm" (1970). German New Wave and Rainer Fassbinder's existential movies characterized film-making in Germany. The movies of the Swedish director Ingmar Bergman reached a new level of expression in motion pictures like "Cries and Whispers" (1973).
