Summing up a life's work?
The last film by Bergman stretches for two hours and in two halves, Fanny and Alexander start to grow up in a loving, mildly disorganised but propsperous and happy acting family. Even then there are signs of problems in the lives of the uncles and aunts. Then actor-manager father dies and mother marries the Lutheran Bishop. Life for F and A changes drastically from moderate luxury to bare necessities, from loving relations to acid spinsters and a religiously brutal step-father. Eventually lives are worked out to the good (not to give too much away) and there is a happy ending. Settings are superb, the story never drags, acting is excellent -- but it is still Bergman so there has to be misery, this time almost controlled.

Hard work
The process of buying the disc was easy, it arrived quickly, in good order and the disc played perfectly.
I bought it because it appeared on several lists of 100 best films.
That must be because it is important in the history of the cinema but in a heavily cut form lasting two hours that seems like overkill.
Because it is a silent film communication has to come from the occasional written information on the screen and from the acting. In this case the need to communicate caused continual melodramatic poses such 'How Horrible' -- with staring eyes and arms outstretched. Wearing, over two hours, and not the only way to communicate as other silent films show.
The basic plot is that the workers, an indistinct mass, are fed into the machine which powers/runs the world in ten hour shifts, and then released to a life in tower blocks. The manager's son revolts against this and the revolt spreads. What the final result was I am not clear.
I did watch the whole film but I did not enjoy it and it was hard work.
