France-W. Germany-Sweden (1978): Drama
Bergman (Ingrid) meets Bergman (Ingmar) in this fine but not outstanding story of a concert pianist who meets up with her estranged daughter (Liv Ullmann) for the first time in seven years, and spends an evening confronting unresolved ill feelings from the past. Ingmar's been down this road plenty of times and in better films (Cries and Whispers, 1972); but even as a minor work, this is a powerful piece with two top actresses of their day. Shot in Norway, during Ingmar Bergman's exile from Sweden due to an accusation of income tax evasion. This film marked Ingrid Bergman's final theatrical motion picture appearance.
