  Pretentious music critic Cornelius is writing a biography on a famous cellist. In order to execute the very best research Cornelius goes to stay in his house for a few days prompting all sorts of comedic consequences... A change of pace for Bergman this black farce (his first feature in colour) is his distinctive way of taking a pot shot at critics a film that proves Berman can be enchanting and amusing without losing his familiar melancholic air.

  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
