Sep 2nd  
Autumn Sonata**     

(Swe/Fra/WG 1978)                      

After a recent bereavement, an illustrious concert pianist visits her eldest daughter, but uncovers some home truths in the process.
Quintessential Bergman angst, featuring his glamorous namesake Ingrid (in what proved to be her last cinema film) in an uncomfortably familiar role to herself (neglectful mother who pursues her star career.) Absorbing and introspective as ever, but mesmeric in its performances.

Written and Directed: Ingmar Bergman.
Starring: Ingrid Bergman, Liv Ullman, Halvar Bjork, Lena Nyman, Gunnar Bjornstrand.
Photography: Sven Nykvist.
Music: Chopin, and others.
