The Oscar winning FANNY & ALEXANDER is the culmination of a life-time's work by one of cinema's greatest artists, Ingmar Bergman. The story is a rich tapestry of one year in the life of a large and well-to-do theatrical family living in a Swedish provincial town at the turn of the century. The central characters are two young children, Fanny and Alexander, whose lives are turned upside down when their father dies and their mother, Emilie, falls for the icy charms of the puritanical local Bishop. Much to the concern of their grandmother, the children are mistreated under the Bishop's strict regime and Emilie is powerless to act. But to the childrens' rescue comes an old family friend, in whose magical and mysterious emporium Alexander encounters the supernatural forces which contribute to the family's eventual reunion. An optimistic and enchanting evocation of childhood, Fanny and Alexander is, without doubt, Bergman's masterpiece.
