Additional Information
Director Ingmar Bergman had intended FANNY AND ALEXANDER to be his final theatrical film and a summing-up of sorts of his entire cinematic career. (It was followed by 1984's AFTER THE REHEARSAL, which was also made for Swedish television and subsequently released theatrically abroad.) FANNY AND ALEXANDER is the story of two children belonging to a wealthy, extensive theatrical family in provincial Sweden in the early years of the 20th century--10-year-old Alexander (Bertil Guve) and his younger sister, Fanny (Pernilla Alwin). When their father dies unexpectedly during a performance and their mother decides to remarry, the children are forced to relocate to the austere (and possibly haunted) home of their stern and rather coldhearted stepfather, Bishop Vergerus (Jan Malmsjo). A means of escape is eventually provided by Isak Jacobi (Erland Josephson), a longtime friend of the Ekdahl family's who seems to possess magical powers. In this somewhat autobiographical movie--which was filmed in the director's hometown of Uppsala--the gifted, precocious Alexander is a stand-in for Bergman himself, who had a problematic relationship with his own father, a strict clergyman. At once festive, spooky, and bawdy--and uncharacteristically life-affirming--FANNY AND ALEXANDER is one of Bergman's most universally appealing and accessible works.

My favourite film
What I love about this film more than anything else is the joy of family life and the way it can enrich young lives. No more is this point made clearer than when the father dies and the children go to live with the clergyman.Luckily all the good work done by their mother and father, which has made them stronger and not afraid to question adult's judgements and motives, has given them strength to brave these dark times and maybe get through them to better times. Above all the film is peopled with real charactors who you can empathise with and even feel some sympathy for. yes even the clergyman although I hated him for most of the film.His motives were good I think but his methods of applying them were too strict and devoid of humanity. The reason I bought this dvd is that I could watch this filn over and over again, and probably will lol, and bring something new from it everytime. A superb and human film from a master film maker.Read full review
