THIS IS NOT A REVIEW

Glad to watch Autumn Sonata with this one. It’s easy to see Haneke’s reference to Bergman by watching the two films, especially “The Piano Teacher” is basically the same: the poor mother-daughter relationship, the masochistic way of cutting private parts, and the cold and alienated character temperament. . When I wanted to come to Bergman to give "Piano Teacher" four stars, I must have thought: Oh, boy, this is what I learned. . .

This picture is too beautiful, even Caravaggio in several places. Interestingly, similar structures such as "Sick-Healthy People", closed spaces, and character wrestling appeared in "Still in the Mirror" in 1961, "Silence" in 1963, and "Masquerade" in 1966. appeared again. The subject of discussion is still the loss of communication and discourse, and there are still inescapable "Bergmanian propositions"—love and alienation for mothers, hatred for brothers, and what he calls "emotional blackmail," and his Tirelessly questioning God. Even the "Agnes Resurrection" scene in the details comes from his ten-year-old experience of being locked up in a morgue. The real Bergman I like exists in these four women, "I don't trust anyone, I don't love anyone, and I don't miss anyone", harsh, indifferent, and Anna is his secret room. The open gap is absolutely gentle. Like two sides of a coin, firmly attached to each other. (I love him 555)
