Siblings Day

Tystnaden (1963)

Sisters Ester (Ingrid Thulin) and Anna (Gunnel Lindblom). Similar as in Bergman's Persona (1966), the women's faces appear to complete each other. DP: Sven Nykvist.

#Sisters Ester and Anna arrive with Anna's son Johan in the small Central European town of Timoka. The country verges on the brink of war. Unwell Ester is confined to her hotel room, Anna roams Timoka's establishments, Johan wanders the hotel corridors.

“You need to watch your step among all the ghosts and memories.”

– Ester

It's hard to watch #Bergman's Tystnaden without #StanleyKubrick's ghosts sidling in. Tystnaden however doesn't need consternation to cause dread. The interaction and lack thereof between the three leads and the few extras translate into something merely tangible and evermore frightful.
