Description

Through the eyes of ten-year-old Alexander, we witness the delights and conflicts of the Ekdahl family, a sprawling bourgeois clan in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Sweden. Ingmar Bergman intended Fanny and Alexander as his swan song, and it is the legendary director’s warmest and most autobiographical film, a four-time Academy Award–winning triumph that combines his trademark melancholy and emotional intensity with immense joy and sensuality.

    I first saw the theatrical version of this movie on Hulu. It was lush, forboding, joyous, and painful at the same time. When I saw the Swedish TV version, I fell in love all over again. Bergman already had me with "Persona" and "Wild Strawberries". When I saw "Fanny and Alexander", he gained a fan for life.

    Combination of Swedish spirit, proper filming, multicultural, religious and human nature paradigms plus talent of great Bergman.
  • One of my very favorite movies...

    … and I would argue that it’s one of the best! This looks like the theatrical release version of Fanny & Alexander- there is a much longer version (available through Criterion) that was released on TV in Sweden… amazing!!! Highly recommended!!!!!
