Autumn Sonata

It's when i watch this kind of movies that i realize how important the cinema is. I cried throughout the entire second half of this film. Autumn Sonata is a movie about a difficult relationship between a mother and her daughter. Charlotte is a famous pianist who returns to her daughter, Eva, after many years apart. Eva still hurt because of her mother : she was selfish during Eva's childhood, often absent and cared more about her career than her family. During the reunion, the two women talk about their pain, sadness and disappointments. Eva finally expresses all the emotions she kept inside for years, but Charlotte doesn't want to hear what her daughter has to say and tries to find excuses. The film shows deep feelings like loneliness, guilt, anger and the need for love. It also shows how hard it can be to communicate in a family and to forgive someone you love.
