30th Anniversary! FANNY AND ALEXANDER (FANNY OCH ALEXANDER), 1982, Janus Films, 188 min. Dir. Ingmar Bergman. It’s Christmas at the mansion of the pleasure-loving Ekdahl family in 1907 - and Fanny (Pernilla Allwin) and Alexander (Bertil Guve) watch as their massive clan gathers for one of cinema’s greatest holiday celebrations, among its highlights their lovably rapscallion uncle Jarl Kulle. But after their theater-manager father dies and their actress mother (Ewa Froling) marries tombstone-faced Bishop Jan Malmsjo, the siblings’ world darkens radically to one of harsh family terrors. With sumptuous cinematography by Sven Nykvist. [35mm]
