  Autumn Sonata [1978] £6.79 UK
Although "Autumn Sonata" touches on many of Bergman's favourite themes, the mother and daughter angle gives a freshness to the film and makes the quality of the acting all the more treasurable.
"Autumn Sonata" tends to be forgotten in comparison with Bergman's other late period works, both those made in exile from Sweden and those made before such as "Cries and Whispers" and the trimphant home-coming "Fanny and Alexander" both of which richly deserved Oscars.
Although "Autumn Sonata" is not as technically adventurous or as stunning visually as others, Ingrid Bergman deserved more than the Oscar nomination she received and the awards bestowed upon the film as a whole were richly deserved.

 Autumn Sonata
Autumn Sonata grows a bit too static and its rhetoric a little too theatrical for the movie to reach the supreme level of quality of Bergman's otherwise similar Cries and Whispers.
The other idea crucial to Autumn Sonata that introduces itself in this scene is the impossibility, despite such physical proximity, of really seeing the people before us, of achieving a complete or even a reliable connection with their thoughts and feelings.
The freshness and unexpectedness of Eva's accusations are crucial components in the staggering potency of Autumn Sonata, and I hesitate to delve much further into the specific reasons of her animosity, lest I dilute the impact of the film.

 Autumn Sonata Movie: Autumn Sonata DVD is available from Bestprices.com
In this drama written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, Eva, the meek, seemingly complacent wife of a parson, invites her mother, Charlotte, a world famous pianist, to come for a visit, hoping for a reconciliation after a long period of estrangement and virtually no interaction.
In AUTUMN SONATA, Ingrid Bergman plays Charlotte, a famous concert pianist who hasn't seen her daughter Eva (Liv Ullmann) in seven years when she decides to accept Eva and her husband's invitation to come for a prolonged visit.
Often considered one of the lesser works of Bergman’s later period, AUTUMN SONATA is actually a compassionate and often insightful exploration of a strained relationship between parent and child--a relationship, however, that may not be quite past salvation yet.

 Autumn Sonata: Criterion (1978)
Autumn Sonata appears in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; due to the mildness of the matting, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
Autumn Sonata is an insanely dialogue-heavy movie, so when I used the subtitles, I felt as though I was reading a book; I rarely had the opportunity to actually attend to and absorb the cinematography and the actors' physical behaviors, both of which are essential to this film.
Autumn Sonata doesn't include much in the way of supplements, but at least the main one is terrific.

 Ingmar Bergman's Autumn Sonata
The 'sonata' of the title most immediately refers to the first movement of Händel's Sonata in F (opus 1) played during the credits.
In Beethoven's sonata, indeed in the 'Sonata' that is this film, Eva seeks to break beyond the bounds of conventional, aesthetically pleasing constraints (her confrontational speech to Charlotte is erratic, 'unpolished', even brutal and offensive to some commentators like Peter Cowie) and fixed truths.
I suggest that Autumn Sonata is self-consciously concerned with the limitations of any kind of aesthetic formulation (whether in the form of music, words, or 'painterly' cinematic framing and, by implication, cinematic form itself) to communicate events and/or emotion in a 'reliable', or unproblematized way.

Eventually the march subsides and the "dark flutes of Autumn" greet the ghosts of heroes (IV: Lamentoso).
At the final cadence violas, cellos and basses retune, and play at a series of natural harmonics on the resulting C sharp string -- the key of the Beethoven Sonata -- and the music softly dissolves "in a golden cloud".

Autumn Sonata’s biggest draw, over all else, is the fact that the mother is played by Ingrid Bergman, the Swedish-born Hollywood star whose most famous roles include playing opposite Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, and opposite Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious.
Autumn Sonata was made in 1978, and apparently was Ingrid’s final theatrical film appearance, although she did appear in some TV-movies in her final years.
Unlike films with a lockstep plot where she did this and he did that, and you can easily remember the important things, Autumn Sonata is all about the words, and the emotions associated with them.

Ingmar made AUTUMN SONATA during a time when he had abandoned his home country of Sweden due to some tax problems.
Ingmar could not have been very happy during this time, since Autumn Sonata is pretty damn depressing.

 The Criterion Collection: Autumn Sonata
As a tour de force of screen acting, Autumn Sonata stands unchallenged as the finest work of Ingmar Bergman’s last few years as a movie director.
Autumn Sonata was filmed in the fall of 1977 and released late the following year, when it earned a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film.
It marks the swan song of Ingrid Bergman’s career, fulfilled her long-held desire to make a film with her namesake, and was her first film in Swedish in eleven years.

 Autumn Sonata
Another excursion into the emotional torment that is the human family unit, Autumn Sonata (Höstsonaten) presents the expected level of angst found in Ingmar Bergman's '70s work but also offers some welcome indications of redemption and grace.
The only collaboration between the two famous Bergmans (who weren't related), Autumn Sonata is essentially a small chamber piece meant to serve as more of an introduction to his style than a major advancement of any major themes in Ingmar Bergman's work.
Ullmann once again proves her range as she deglamorizes herself and, thanks to her ponytails, takes on the appearance of a fragile and ultimately enraged little girl, saddled with a mother who also finds herself unable to cope with the demands of adulthood.

 MovieMartyr.com - Autumn Sonata
Autumn Sonata, a stunningly accomplished chamber drama from Ingmar Bergman, is relaxed as often as it is austere.
Set mostly in a country home, the film essentially has three speaking parts, and the real crux of the film revolves around only two of the characters, an emotionally and physically distant mother and daughter.
With striking economy, the film suggests there will be a winter to follow this relationship’s autumn, and if the tone isn’t exactly hopeful, it’s certainly open to the possibility of hope.

Go ahead and buy "Autumn Sonata" and just send me hate mail if you don't like it.

Two masterclasses were presented which gave participants the opportunity to get some guidance to improve their performance.
Polly, Sonata's director, has a remarkable ability to approach each adult student in a manner that makes that performer comfortable, quickly evaluate what needs improving, explain what she'd like to hear in a way that allows the pianist to understand how to play it differently, and keep the audience involved and interested.
In my case, she decided to have the audience sing the main melody from the opening section of a Rachmaninoff Prelude in a resounding "bomm" while clapping and stomping the rhythm.
