Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Autumn Sonata (1978)

Ingrid Bergman crushes it as an aloof concert pianist visiting her adult daughters after being widowed by their stepfather. The film is basically talk, talk, yell, flashback, talk, talk, yell -- but, wow. The power in their faces is nothing short of marvelous.  I admit I wasn't a real fan of Bergman's before, but she proved to me here that her place as a revered actress was earned.
