Perhaps one day I will see it through the eyes of a mother, and if I do, I will update this review accordingly.Īzra Humayra is a journalism major and enjoys French new wave films as they are slow. Seeing this film through the eyes of a daughter has been overwhelming. Ingmar Bergman brilliantly balances the conflicting emotions of love and hate within the relationship. It encompasses the intricacies of our unique bond, built upon a lifetime of shared experiences, memories, and emotions. However, understanding her as only my mother adds a layer of complexity. My mother, as a woman, is a true source of inspiration to me, and her journey illuminates the path towards my own aspirations. She is the artist, being egocentric, selfish.
