Intended to to be his last feature, Fanny and Alexander is one of Bergman's most beloved films and a testament to his continued importance in world cinema. Set in 1907, the story is a tapestry of interwoven relationships between the members of a large theatrical family, the Ekdahls. Told mainly through children's eyes - especially the young Alexander (Bertil Guve) - the film combines the certain yet fragile world of adult existence with the fantastic world of children, presenting both the complexity of family and the interdependence of reality and imagination. In its exploration of family, sex, death, and dream, Fanny and Alexander navigates familiar Bergman territory; a notable difference, however, is the powerful emphasis on redemption and a sensual positivity that is distinct from his more austere austere exercises from the 1970s. In the words of one critic, the film is "astonishingly beautiful," a film where the invisible and the visible converge via the magic of cinema. Fanny and Alexander is an indisputable Bergman masterpiece, and quite possibly the summation of his cinematic legacy. English sub-titles.
