Fanny and Alexander - Theatrical Cut (Fanny och Alexander) (NR)
synopsis
One tumultuous year in the life of the Ekdahl family is viewed through the eyes of 10-year-old Alexander, whose imagination fuels the magical goings-on leading up to and following the death of his father. When his mother remarries a stern bishop, Alexander and his sister Fanny are banished to a gothic world. 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, with trademark scenes of marital infighting, desperate grief and searching existential enquiry.
