A magnificent achievement from one of the greatest directors in cinema history, Ingmar Bergman’s semi-autobiographical familial epic Fanny and Alexander contains multitudes – imagination and torment, joy, delight, sorrow, grief, and everything in between. The Ekdahl family is a close-knit unit of love and creativity until disaster strikes and upheaval brings torment to the youngest of the clan. Winner of four Academy Awards and considered one of Bergman’s greatest triumphs, and one of the greatest films ever made, Bergman considered Fanny and Alexander as “the sum total of my life as a filmmaker.”
We will be screening the 188 minute theatrical version of the film.
