'Cries and Whispers' by Ingmar Bergman is a prize winner

"Cries and Whispers" was largely Bergman's first successful fill in the U.S. and went on to win at the Oscars. I recently watched a Netflix DVD of the film under difficult conditions. The old CRT TV works well on news but when a movie scene is dark everything is muddied. I sat through the film without understanding some of the scenes, but when it was bright I could follow the events.

Story is three sisters, one dying of cancer, living together for the cancer-stricken to die. They reveal past problems and events, including such as walking woods together. 

It's a bitter film with much agonizing over the past. 

You might enjoy it if you TV works better than mine.
