Autumn Sonata (Höstsonaten)
Autumn Sonata (Höstsonaten)
“Did you see Autumn Sonata? It’s about a great pianist and her mediocre daughter. A story like ours.” This painful dialogue from Almodóvar’s 1991 film High Heels draws a straight line to Ingmar Bergman’s final film made for theatrical exhibition. This heartbreaking melodrama about a classical pianist (Ingrid Bergman) who reconnects with her estranged daughter (Liv Ullmann) is existentially profound, overwhelmingly emotional, and deeply affective. Autumn Sonata is Ingrid Bergman’s final film, who closed her career working for the first and only time with director Ingmar Bergman with a performance that earned her a seventh and final Acting nomination.
