Review of Autumn Sonata (1978) by Joel A — 31 Dec 2013
A powerful intense family drama about an ageing mother & musician trying to connect with her embittered daughter & they have a lot of issues.
Shot to near perfection by Sven Nykvist who gave such dimension to the shots & the most stunning autumn burnt orange look to the whole film.
The acting was utterly sensational both Liv Ullman & Ingrid Bergman where forces to be reckoned with they just added the much needed emotional depth.
This is a powerful film & a Must See Arthouse Classic, Ingmar Bergman is not only the greatest Swedish Filmmaker but simply one of the world's best.
