Barnes & Noble
Announced with some fanfare as the final feature-length film to be directed by Ingmar Bergman, the autobiographical Fanny and Alexander turned out to be one of this great filmmaker’s very best movies. One would be hard pressed to imagine a more fitting culmination to such a distinguished career -- but, as it turned out, Bergman still had many stories to tell, albeit mostly for Swedish television. This 1982 film begins as the loving Ekdahl family, a financially comfortable clan, gathers to celebrate Christmas; but tragedy soon strikes when the patriarch dies.

Barnes & Noble
Announced with some fanfare as the final feature-length film to be directed by Ingmar Bergman, the autobiographical Fanny and Alexander turned out to be one of this great filmmaker’s very best movies. One would be hard pressed to imagine a more fitting culmination to such a distinguished career -- but, as it turned out, Bergman still had many stories to tell, albeit mostly for Swedish television. This 1982 film begins as the loving Ekdahl family, a financially comfortable clan, gathers to celebrate Christmas; but tragedy soon strikes when the patriarch dies. Ten-year-old Alexander Bertil Guve and eight-year-old Fanny Pernilla Alwin suffer terribly after their widowed mother Ewa Froling marries an outwardly pleasant clergyman Jan Malmsjo who turns out to be a sadistic tyrant. It takes the efforts of their indomitable grandmother Gunn Wallgren and her Jewish friend Erland Josephson to liberate the children. Bergman’s cinematic memoir is certainly realistic, but it’s also enchanting, as you would expect from a fairy tale. Comedy, tragedy, romance, and fantasy skillfully blend to create a perfect evocation of time and place. On the one hand, there’s an ebullient sense of wonder; on the other, a gothic sensibility reminiscent of such tales as Jane Eyre. The performances are above reproach, especially those of Guve and Alwin, who betray none of the precious theatricality that all too often mars the work of child actors. Sven Nykvist’s cinematography provides one unforgettable image after another, and Daniel Bell’s superb music perfectly underscores the moods Bergman creates so powerfully with his innate storytelling ability. The Criterion Collection has finally released Bergman's 312-minute cut of the film -- nearly twice as long as what was shown in theaters -- that was originally shown on Swedish television in 1984 as a four-part miniseries. Now issued in the U.S. for the first time ever, this was Bergman's preferred version of the film, and as such this DVD set is one of the signal events of the year.

    Fanny and Alexander, beautiful, and heart touching

    I stumbled across Fanny and Alexander by pure coincidence on a popular movie database website. I thought the story seemed very interesting, so I decided to give it a try. I luckily got the Criterion boxed set version on sale at a local Barnes and Noble for 50% off, so I couldn't let the opportunity pass. The boxed set comes with the theatrical 188 minute version, which to be honest, falls short of what the television version has to offer, which clocks in at a staggering 312 minutes. I was a little intimidated at first, with the very long length, but let me be the first to tell you that I became so absorbed in the film, that the movie seemed to almost end too soon. The way Bergman fleshes out his characters, is something that every aspiring director wishes they could do, and he does so, seemingly effortlessly. It is beautifully acted by a cast that really makes you feel like the film you are watching, is real. But the one thing that stood out to me the most, was Sven Nykvist's beautiful cinematography. The way he captures emotion is, in my opinion, perfect. From long takes in the theater, where the camera hardly moves at all, to the intricate dolly shots he uses inside the estate, he never ceases to amaze. I don't want to talk about any of the story, because I want people to see this masterpiece for themselves. If you love beautiful period piece films, that constantly challenge your mind, then I cannot recommend Fanny and Alexander enough. It is a perfect example of why film is not only entertainment, but also art.
