Autumn Sonata (Swedish: Höstsonaten) is a 1978 Swedish film written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. The film stars Ingrid Bergman, Liv Ullmann and Lena Nyman. It tells the story of a famous pianist who is confronted by her neglected daughter.

The film was shot in Norway because of Ingmar Bergman's tax problems with the government of Sweden.[1] It was Ingrid Bergman's last performance in a major feature film that had a theatrical release.

The film won the 1979 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It was also nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Ingrid Bergman) and Best Original Screenplay.
