This is my favourite part from "Cries and Whispers"...It's so touchful! It's hard not to cry.

On the swing she looks at her two sisters, then the maid, and, finally, God.

"Her faith was stronger than mine" (the chaplain on Agnes after her death)

This Chopin mazurka had a revival through the film.

And here Agnes writes: "The people I am most fond of in all the world were with me. I could hear their chatting around me. I could feel the presence of their bodies, the warmth of their hands. I wanted to hold the moment fast and thought, "Come what may, this is happiness. I cannot wish for anything better. Now, for a few minutes, I can experience perfection. And I feel profoundly grateful to my life, which gives me so much."

The meaning of life summed up in those two paragraphs.

I love these little gems Bergman scatters throughout his films.

In The Seventh Seal, Antonius Block say's: "I shall remember this moment: the silence, the twilight, the bowl of strawberries, the bowl of milk. Your faces in the evening light. I shall try to remember our talk. I shall carry this memory carefully in my hands..."

how important is to have the persons which you love around... I feel the same.

Excellent. Thanks for posting.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ironically enough (in view of Bergman's atheism), I had a religious experience the first time I saw this scene (when I was 20).
