Liv Ullmann's role as Eva in Autumn Sonata, the emotionally unavailable daughter of Ingrid Bergman's Charlotte, is a tragic portrayal of the love and anger that families bear for one another. The performance by Ullmann gives one a silent view of the sufferings of a woman who was emotionally neglected by her mother. One of the most emotionally charged scenes in cinema history is the film's climactic confrontation when Eva finally releases years of pent-up pain and anger.
