To celebrate the BFI’s tribute to the wondrous Liv Ullmann next month here’s your chance to win film tickets plus a copy of the BFI’s new artwork for Cries and Whispers.
In the year Liv Ullmann is awarded an Honorary Oscar® for her exceptional contribution to the art of film, we celebrate her achievements as actor, writer and director. Ullmann is known for her extraordinary collaborations with Ingmar Bergman, a creative partnership she called her ‘happiest dance’. As part of that season we will screening one of Ingmar Bergman’s undisputed masterpieces, Cries and Whispers.
Sisters Maria (Ullmann) and Karin (Ingrid Thulin) have returned to their family’s rural manor home to tend to their dying sibling Agnes (Harriet Andersson). Waiting for the inevitable, the sisters’ cold familiarity and lack of connection are thrown into sharp relief by the honest, abandoned love the family housemaid Anna (Kari Sylwan) lavishes upon Agnes. Troubling memories and long-repressed feelings rise to the surface in a series of sensual and metaphorical vignettes.
This magnificently unconventional chamber piece, re-released by the BFI on its 50th anniversary and screening at the BFI Southbank from Friday 1 April.
To win a pair of tickets to one of the screenings of Cries and Whispers at the BFI Southbank plus a copy of the BFI’s new artwork win simply email filmcompetitions@bfi.org.uk with ULLMAN in the subject header by 1 April.
