Fanny & Alexander (1982) (Criterion Collection, 3 Blu-rays)

Read more

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, a four-time Academy Award-winning triumph that combines his trademark melancholy and emotional intensity with immense joy and sensuality. The Criterion Collection is proud to present both the theatrical release and the original five-hour television version of this great work. Also included in the box set is Bergman's own feature-length documentary The Making of Fanny And Alexander, a unique glimpse into his creative process.
