QuickView
Story-line: circa 1907, various events bring change to the Ekdahl household, chiefly to Oscar’s wife, Emilie, and her two children, Fanny and Alexander.
Pluses: a very atypical story, strong acting, masterful direction.
Minuses: some viewers may find the film a bit long but their patience will be handsomely rewarded.
Comments: a startling mix of humorous and harrowing episodes reflecting Bergman’s happier and darker moods. FANNY AND ALEXANDER is an original film with a distinctly European feel and an eloquent illustration of life’s vicissitudes.
