[phgh1520]

[MarieCarro]

My theatre class is going to put this up:P I'm playing Helena:D

[HionShrooms]

It only won 4 Oscars.

[JohnLuckPickard141]

Is it me, or does it sound like the trailer narrator is sucking up to the director?

[merrynightme2010]

shit movie

[ExtremeBogom]

@chaversolo00

That's a complete lie. Lucio Fulci never headbutted anyone, let alone Bergman.

where on earth did you hear such a thing?

[Mandi7882]

I saw this when I was young. I couldn't stand 3+ hour films, but I looked at this thanks to the Z Channel. This is one of my all time favorite foreign films. I will admit I had to watch it a few times (there's a 3 hour version and a shorter one), but it reminded me so much of all those old classic Hawthorne and Dickens books we had to read in High School. This film has all those elements.

Does anyone else think the main boy character in this film looks like Skandar Keynes?

[Nascette]

@shahoney Agreed, I had to look twice at the date to check it wasn't!

[scottmackeen]

This film is like a classic Dickens novel.. The rite of passage of a child moving out of innocence and into the often tough, unjust real world.

[Winduct]

0:40 Is that a man or a woman?

[CobinRain]

I have to say, I dont really think I would be moved by this hokey trailer to see this film. Actually I have already seen it, a few times. It is very dark, mysterious, hard to watch. Beautiful too. Oh, and Bergman's loathing of religion gets a good airing; not something an American trailer is going to say. Is it?

[PixPoxy]

I love this movie, saw i this last year at xmas

[jazzuffe]

The greatest movie picture ever.

[lala3193lala]

Does anyone knnows the name of the song that plays in the beginning?

[sashawonka]

I love this movie, it's so remarkable and unforgettable..

[iknowiamnottheone]

My name is Fanny, i hate it.

[fannyanne2]

@iknowiamnottheone My name is Stephanie but my mom and dad call me Fanny and I dont like this movie at all it came on TCM awhile back and I tape it but dont watch it much.

[kira2008b]

Worst ever Bergman movie. The Jewish scenes are here, only because Bergman wanted Oscars from the Jewish film makers of America.

[eirik73]

One of the best movies ever made!

[shinyalbert]

the second episode about the death of the father made me cry uncontrollably

[Felicity1247]

@shinyalbert I though the ghost of the father was very sad. I usually don't like ghosts, but Ingmar really played it well. The scene where the ghost speaks with the grandmother is very sad but beautiful.

[bellaskommentarer]

Fanny is my sister but her name is Pernilla.

[XtroTheMutilator]

Nice! Incredible experience. When I said it left me drained I meant that in the most flattering way possible! It was remarkable! Sorry for the confusion. :)

[AussieRoadshow]

Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying :)

[Rbatty2]

Very good preview. Have it on tape but haven't watched yet. Heard its splendid, and I hope so given it was Ingmar's last theatrical feature. Although his tv film "Sarabande" did get limited cinema release and I saw it on the big screen. Thanks for posting!

[AussieRoadshow]

This is one of my favourite films of all time! Really a great masterpiece that deserved all the awards it got.

[Rbatty2]

Oh I can't wait!

[MADPUPPETDEATH]

Great movie!! I still need that Criterion 5 discer!

[AussieRoadshow]

Really want that 5-discer too. Though Xtro said he found it a bit ponderous. Regardless, I think I'd still love it.

[MADPUPPETDEATH]

Anything Bergman, I'm pretty much sold on and I think you'd love it!

I watched Cries & Whispers a while back on that Laserdisc I got and I can't even describe how emotionally powerful and heartbreaking it is. Absolutely loved it.
