| Autumn Sonata | comment |
Autumn Sonata (Swedish title: Höstsonaten) is a 1978 Swedish-Norwegian-West German drama film written and directed by Ingmar Bergman, starring Liv Ullmann and Ingrid Bergman. The latter, a namesake of the director but unrelated to him,note although, coincidentally enough, Ingmar's wife was also named Ingrid had never worked with him before; this collaboration happened very late in her life, when she was already terminally ill, and was her final appearance in a feature film.note Her actual last role was as Golda Meir in a TV movie biopic, A Woman Called Golda.The film deals with a visit which the acclaimed pianist Charlotte Andergast (Ingrid Bergman) pays to her daughter Eva (Ullman), who lives in a secluded country house. At first the two women appear friendly, but fairly soon the truth about their past relationship becomes evident to the viewer and the story turns into one big Cerebus Syndrome.Both Bergmans received Academy Award nominations (Ingrid for Best Actress, Ingmar for Original Screenplay), and the film has sustained a strong reputation since. It's received a Screen-to-Stage Adaptation several times (plays written in Swedish, English and Spanish, plus an Opera), and was adapted into Hindi as the 2003 Bollywood drama Tehzeeb. | |

The Disease That Shall Not Be Named | |
| Autumn Sonata / int_16838478 | comment |
The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: Leonardo, Charlotte's most recent husband, has just died from something that's never confirmed as cancer onscreen. Helena, Charlotte's younger daughter, appears to be suffering from severe palsy, but it's never called anything but "her illness." Eva claims it's a direct result of Charlotte abandoning her. | |

Gratuitous English | |
| Autumn Sonata / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: In two scenes (talking on the phone with her agent, and with her companion on the train at the end) Charlotte has extended dialogue in perfect English (as should be expected from Ingrid Bergman). The ease of her English chatter compared to the trouble she has articulating herself in Swedish emphasizes how alienated Charlotte is from her own roots. | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending: Though the relationship seems completely broken between Eva and Charlotte, Eva writes a letter to Charlotte asking to have her still in her life despite the fact she at first rebuked her. It was implied that Charlotte wants to still have that parental bond with Eva so there may be a chance the two will eventually reconcile. | |
