Synopsis
Through the eyes of ten-year-old Alexander, we witness the delights and conflicts of the Ekdahl family, a sprawling bourgeois clan in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Sweden.
Ingmar Bergman intended
Fanny and Alexander as his swan song, and it is the legendary director’s warmest and most autobiographical film, that combines his trademark melancholy and emotional intensity with immense joy and sensuality.
Ingmar Bergman described
Fanny and Alexander as "the sum total of my life as a filmmaker."
