Autumn Sonata

Ingrid Bergman and Ingmar Bergman, two giants of cinema collaborated for this chamber drama about a mother and daughter. Ingrid Bergman plays a famous pianist who has abandoned her daughters for her career visits her daughter after a long absence where sparks fly when they confront each other. The stunning Ingrid Bergman proves her worth in her last feature film in acting in her native language by her namesake and equally stellar director that marks a union in cinematic heaven. Liv Ullman holds her own in the triangle while Sven Nykvist does his usual best. The film also stars Lena Nyman (I Am Curios) and longtime Bergman regular Erland Josephson.
