Peter (Michael Kitchen) boards an overnight train in Germany to travel to Lintz where he has an important business meeting in the morning. He is happy to find that he shares his compartment with an attractive young American tourist, but his joy soon turns to dismay. A very demanding aristocratic old German lady, Frau Messner (Peggy Ashcroft,) joins them and insists that Peter is in her seat. He isn't, of course, but showing her his ticket doesn't satisfy her. Frau Messner was used to having a cadre of servants take care of in her younger days, but after the war that all changed. Unfortunately, she has never gotten used to doing anything for herself, and consequently orders around anyone and everyone who happens to be around her. As the night goes on, Frau Messner becomes more demanding and Peter grows more irritated. They are from different generations and different worlds, and have nothing in common. As they argue and bicker they learn a little about each other and while they are still polar opposites, they may have much more in common than either of them can imagine.

Reserved and cool, Margaret is the French wife of Peter, a British diplomat posted to France with their son Nelson. She takes a lover, a chimpanzee she bought from a zoo and installed in a flat. Peter asks that she bring the chimp, Max, to live with them. He obsesses about Margaret and Max's relationship, hiring a prostitute so he can watch Max perform (Max declines) and peering through the keyhole as Margaret and Max sleep. He tries to kill Max, then finally accepts the ape's presence. When she is called away to her ill mother's bedside, Max stops eating. Worried, Peter takes Max and Nelson to the countryside so Max can be with Margaret; once there, Nature beckons. Is Max lost?

CR!ES /-\N|) \/\/|-|ISPERS 1972
Ingmr Brgman's acclaimed drama, which deals with the fractured relationships between three sisters, is set in a vast turn-of-the-century manor house where unidentified voices are continually whispering and mingle with a dying woman's cries of pain. Karin and Maria (played by Ingrid Thulin and Liv Ullmann, respectively) have come to stay with their sister Agnes (Harriet Andersson), who is suffering from cancer, during the final stretch of her illness. Attending to Agnes is her faithful maid Anna (Kari Sylwan), who, in spite of her apparent social inferiority, is the only one who remains steadfast and dauntless until the very end--the two other women, plagued by guilt, loneliness, and jealousy of one another, are unable to offer assistance or even sympathy in their sister's hour of need. Lauded often for its innovative stylistic elements (such as flashbacks introduced by a fade to red--a color that dominates the picture as a whole--and extreme, expressive close-ups of the actresses' faces), C AND W features sumptuous period costume design and stunning photography by longtime Brgman cinematographer Sven Nykvist.
