Fanny and Alexander
Bergman’s magisterial and sumptuous portrait of a 20th-century Swedish family.
Drama 1982 181 mins
Director: Ingmar Bergman
Overview
Ingmar Bergman’s magisterial and sumptuously mounted portrait of an extended family in early 20th-century Sweden, seen largely through the eyes of a small boy. Drawing heavily on Bergman’s own memories, it highlights the young protagonist’s fascination with storytelling, while also serving as a kind of confessional critique of his films and reworked themes.
Although originally produced as a five-part miniseries, the film is presented here in its shorter theatrical cut.
