Autumn Sonata
Ingmar Bergman / DE, NO, SE, GB, FR, 1977 / 93 min.
In Ingmar Bergman's Freudian drama, Ingrid Bergman is phenomenal as a celebrated pianist who has always put her career first. The tension between mother and daughters mounts until all the suppressed emotion comes bursting through the surface during a night-time discussion.
In her last big film role, Ingrid Bergman appeared opposite Liv Ullman – the first and only time she was directed by Ingmar Bergman. Having neglected her children for years, celebrated Swedish concert pianist Charlotte visits her daughter Eva. She is shocked to find that her other, emotionally unstable, daughter Helena is also present. All the suppressed emotion comes bursting through the surface during a night-time discussion.
