Re: Sight and Sound (2002) Greatest Films Club


Cries and Whispers - 7 of 10
35mm 040608, 210th film


Certainly not the worst film ever, but I don't fully embrace it just yet either. This film requires a more nuanced and considered view than an immediate reaction provides. Suffice to say that I found the photography incredible, the imagry utterly stunning and the actions of the two vile ones to be as horrifying as anything Scarlett OHara managed to accomplish when she worked her evils. I'm not sure if I can interpret this film outside of the feelings of class warfare it sparks in me, certainly I now see the spiritual elements, but they had less of an impact on my appreciation than the injustice treated upon Anna (and Agnes).
