Review of Fanny and Alexander (1982) by Martin T — 01 Jul 2008
This 5-hour version that Bergman put together for Swedish television adds significant depth to most of the major characters and, for me at least, gives the film much more emotional heft. The joy that radiates during scenes among the Ekdahls is uncharacteristic for Bergman, but far from unwelcome.
What the movie lacks in density it makes up for with outstanding performances, achingly beautiful photography, and the most impressive production design this side of Lord of the Rings.
