I love Sven Nykvist’s cinematography in Bergman’s Autumn Sonata. The play of light with the use of natural, earth tone colours is incredible.
The film is about a relationship between an estranged mother and daughter. There are many themes in this film that resonate with the film I’m currently writing so I often turn to it for inspiration.
This is one of my favorite shots (as it is for many people). It’s hard to convey why a frame works out of context. Just from looking at it though you get a sense of the daughter’s longing (for her mother) and the mother’s lack of regard (for her daughter) as she focuses on her piano playing.
