FANNY E ALEXANDRE

Through the eyes of sister and brother Fanny and Alexander Ekdahl, the many ups-and-downs of the extended Ekdahl family at the turn-of-the-twentieth-century are put on display in the director’s 312-minute, full length version, made for Swedish television.

Ingmar Bergman had intended this sprawling, turn-of-the-century epic to be his final work. One of his most autobiographical films, Fanny and Alexander is an Oscar®-winning, ravishingly textured triumph. This five-hour cut was described by Bergman himself as “the sum total of my life as a filmmaker.”
