“Bergman restores Ingrid Bergman to her proper place as one of the finest of screen actresses, teaming her with the superb Liv Ullmann in a pairing that simply must not be missed.”
After a seven-year absence, world-renowned pianist Charlotte Andergast (Ingrid Bergman) travels to Sweden to reunite with her estranged daughter Eva (Liv Ulman). As mother and daughter reconnect over a single emotional night, old wounds are reopened and new family secrets uncovered... Bergman's beautiful chamber piece of a film is an austerely poignant meditation on life and death and the not-always-realized possibility of reconciliation across generations.
