• Fanny and Alexander (2-disc Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (27/02/2023) from £22.19   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  One tumultuous year in the life of the Ekdahl family is viewed through the eyes of ten-year-old Alexander, whose imagination fuels the magical goings-on leading up to and following the death of his father. When his mother remarries a stern bishop, Alexander and his sister Fanny are banished to a gothic world. Directed by Ingmar Bergman and drawing heavily on his own memories, it highlights the young protagonist's fascination with storytelling, while also serving as a kind of confessional critique of Bergman-s films and reworked themes, with trademark scenes of marital infighting, desperate grief, and searching existential enquiry. This two-disc Blu-ray features both the OSCAR-winning theatrical cut and original television miniseries, both presented on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.

  Fanny and Alexander is one of the more upbeat and accessible films from Ingmar Bergman. This autobiographical story follows the lives of two children during one tumultuous year. After the death of the children's beloved father, a local theatre owner, their mother marries a strict clergyman. Their new life is cold and ascetic, especially when compared to the unfettered and impassioned life they knew with their father. Most of the story is seen through the eyes of the little boy and is often told in dreamlike sequences. Colourful, insightful, and optimistic, this is far less grim than most of Bergman's work. It was awarded four of the six Oscars for which it was nominated in 1984, including Best Foreign Language Film. Though this was announced as his last film, Bergman continued to work into the late 1990s, though mostly for Swedish television.--Rochelle O'Gorman, Amazon.com

Intended as Ingmar Bergman's swan song Fanny and Alexander (Fanny och Alexander) is the legendary filmmaker's warmest and most autobiographical film a triumph that combines his trademark melancholy and emotional rigor with immense joyfulness and sensuality. Bergman was quoted as saying Fanny and Alexander is the sum total of my life as a film-maker. The multiple awards won worldwide attest to that fact.
