Film Synopsis

Through the eyes of ten - year - old Alexander (Bertil Guve), we witness the great delights and conflicts of the Ekdahl family, a sprawling, convivial bourgeois clan in turn - of - the - century Sweden. Ingmar Bergman intended Fanny and Alexander (Fanny och Alexander) to be his swan song. Winner of the 1984 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, it is the legendary filmmaker's warmest and most autobiographical film, a triumph that combines his trademark melancholy and emotional intensity with immense joyfulness and sensuality. Included are rarely seen introductions by Bergman to eleven of his other films.

Also available as part of the Fanny and Alexander Box Set
