The Silence - 5

Apparently this film is the most famous of Ingmar Bergman's, due to it pushing the limits of film censors/ratings in 1963. It is the third film in the trilogy of faith (Through a Glass Darkly - 7, Winter Light - 7). I found it to be the weakest of the three, story wise. The film follows two sister's, Ester and Anna, and Anna's son. Ester takes ill and the trip they are making is delayed as they stay in a hotel (mostly vacant beside a troupe of dwarves) so Ester can recover. The general gist is the jealousy of the two sister's who are longing for relationship. Ester's greatest fear is to die alone. The cinematography is well done, but was not able to carry the film.
