Autumn Sonata [Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray]

Directed by Ingmar Bergman, this intense domestic drama offers insight into the troubled relationships between a mother and her two daughters, one of whom is dying of a terrible disease that has left her paralyzed and only able to communicate via grunts, and the other who has been estranged from her mother for seven years. It is the sudden arrival of the estranged daughter (Liv Ullmann) that gets the story started. She originally left because she felt that her mother, a famous concert pianist (Ingrid Bergman) ignored her while growing up. Now she brings with her the paralyzed sister who has spent the last few years in an institution. As the story progresses, the threesome try to make peace with each other and in their lives.
