Charlotte, a celebrated classical pianist who has forged a successful career at the expense of her family, attempts to reconcile with her daughter Eva, whom she has not seen in seven years. Over the course of one evening, they confront their darkest feelings and resentments. A tightly-wound psychological study of the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters, Autumn Sonata reveals that living and loving—like mastering notes on a piano—are skills that must be practiced every day. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, Ingmar Bergman wrote and directed such landmark films as The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, and Scenes from a Marriage.
Seeking:
Charlotte:
Mid 50s. She is a queen mother who can be open and shut emotionally. A classicist. Actress should be an artist to play an artist, and as a performer she should have total transparency. The actress should also be very flexible, open, and collaborative.
Eva:
Mid 30s. She is compressed emotionally but with a big release. She is in mourning for her lost child and corrupt childhood and this effects her every move. Actress must have great emotional range and hidden beauty.
Helena:
Early 30s. She is damaged from childhood. She is demonstrative and has handicapped verbal skills and motor functions. It is painfully difficult for her to communicate. Actress must have great emotional range.
Viktor:
Late 40s / early 50s. He is restrained – a minister/professor. He is slightly voyeuristic with something hidden. He is the master of ceremonies for the event - the storyteller. He is the Ingmar Bergman character.
