Review of Autumn Sonata (1978) by Matt H — 14 Jul 2014
A great, great film. Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice is my pick for the best all-time performance by an actress, but I think now Ingrid Bergman and Liv Ullmann in Autumn Sonata are my picks for the 2nd and 3rd best.
Their performances are astounding. The Bergman films I've seen so far all pretty much have great female performances, but in Autumn Sonata (Ingrid) Bergman and Ullmann bring a level of talent and emotional realism to the performances that just left me breathless while watching.
I can't say which actress is better - their performances are interlocked I can't really separate them. Now my 2nd favorite Bergman film after Persona (and pretty close to it).
