Product Description

Product Description

Set in Sweden at the turn of the century, Ingmar Bergman's semi-autobiographical story tells of young sister and brother Fanny (Pernilla Allwin) and Alexander (Bertil Guve), whose comfortable lives change dramatically when their father dies onstage during a performance of 'Hamlet'. Their mother marries a puritanical bishop and the new family move into the bishop's draughty home, where the children are mistreated and their mother becomes consumed with regrets. The film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, as well as Oscars for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design and Best Art Direction.

From Amazon.co.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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 starsBergman's Final Masterpiece?
By Ian Richardson on 9 May 2005
Format: DVD
Please note that this is a review of the Criterion Collection five-hour television version, released on five DVDs.

The Film: If you have found your way here among the Amazon listings, then it is unlikely that you do not already know that this is one of the finest productions ever committed to film. No superlatives can exaggerate the brilliance and depth of "Fanny and Alexander". Here are Bergman and Nykvist working at the absolute height of their powers to produce the warmest, most visually rich and profound storytelling that they have ever given us. It is not as bleak as some of Bergman's earlier films (although there are some disturbing scenes) but the overall impact is uplifting and deeply moving. This is an unusual film that uses a large cast to tell the intricate story of an extended theatrical family in Uppsala in the early years of the 20th century. All of this is seen through the eyes of the two children; the Fanny and Alexander of the title. I saw the film on its' first release more than 20 years ago in both the emasculated theatrical release and in the five hour version made for Swedish television. I was stunned by it then and have been bowled over by it once again in this wonderful new release.

The DVD: I was amazed to find what else was included in this set when it arrived, as the description gave few clues. The presentation of the films is faultless; a real labour of love. The sound is superb and the whole thing has a visual beauty that is extraordinary. Even the Main Menus are finely done, in keeping with the tone and mood of the films themselves. The English subtitles seem good; although not perfectly accurate and Americanised in places.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBergman's stunning remembrance of childhood finally on DVD
By Mr. DS Graham on 5 Mar. 2002
Format: DVD
Ingmar Bergman's multi-award winning film "Fanny & Alexander" is captured for the first time on DVD, and in it's complete 5 hour version. Widely considered his masterpiece, and for good reason, "Fanny & Alexander" is a magical depiction of childhood and family life, as told through the eyes of a young brother and sister whose parents are a renowned Theatre director and actress in Sweden circa 1900. Shot by the great Sven Nykvist, who won his second Oscar for Cinematography (the other was "Cries & Whispers"), "Fanny & Alexander" is a film of enduring warmth, humanity and humour and is in many ways the best introduction to Ingmar Bergman's work I could imagine. A stunning masterpiece rightfully presented in it's full glory on a crisply balanced DVD transfer, "Fanny & Alexander" is a treasure to behold.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis Will Stay With You Forever
By Mr. & Mrs G. C. Stone VINE VOICE on 11 July 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
It's now twenty years or so since I first saw this, yet scenes, feelings, images and ideas from it still float into view when I'm least expecting. Love,beauty,family, fear and dread, and a little bit of magic. This is not just a feast, it is a banquet - for the eyes, for the heart, soul and intellect.
A town square in the snow dotted with fresh, bright flowers - so beautiful an image that I remember almost gasping when it appeared on screen.
One the 20th century's greatest artists(in any field), working with one of the greatest cinematographers of all time - and performances that just stay with you. You will never be quite the same - but then, that's the whole point.

5.0 out of 5 starsImpossible to repeat
By Carles Miquel on 22 Jun. 2004
Format: DVD
Bergman's filmography goes beyond rules from the very start. He pushed himself and his actors above the boundaries then thought to be feasible. Books have been written. Extensive theses throughout the world. Huge amounts of ink spent on Bergman's work. Insights in the mind of a genius not always well understood nor loved by many.
But, pairing with one of the finest cinematographers of all times, he concocted many of the strongest brews in the history of cinema.
Fanny och Alexander may be his Masterpiece. He devouted uncounted hours to take this film where no other has ever even tried to go. Painstankingly crafted scenes and shots that may have, sometimes, been rehearsed an insane number of times, deliver a creepy, light and luminous, dark and incredibly finely woven tapestry of ideas in one film.
This work from Bergman can be and is, indeed, a benchmark to understand writing, storytelling, lighting, film sensitivity, bleach process, artistic performance, emotional shifts, colour and subtle sound recording.
The first time I saw this film was in 1986 on tv. I was quite young and I sat through five hours just wanting more. Longing... craving for more.
I searched for the film for years and couldn't find a copy, except for the original theatrical release, but I didn't want it. It was incomplete. In 2002 I found the dvd. Now, I know almost every line by heart. My students know it very well and, most amazing thing, they love it over many, many other films that show more recent technology. We go through the five hours with one "intermission" for tea or coffee, exchanging ideas and predicting where the story will go in the next chapters.
The output has always been the same: there's no film like this one. It excels in every small detail.Read more ›
