Fanny and Alexander

Cinema Arts Centre
Huntington, NY

Fanny and Alexander is a thinly-veiled fictional portrait of director Ingmar Bergmans own family. The story is set in a small town very much like Uppsala, where Ingmar, the son of a stern Lutheran minister, was born and raised. The film opens on Christmas Eve, 1907 and the joyous celebration by the Ekdahls large extended multi-generational family-sons, daughters-in-law, numerous grandchildren and old friends; it is a family replete with a wide assortment of well-drawn colorful characters who record the arrival of the new generation and the gradual passing of the old revealing the transitory quality of life. Bergmans tale, which follows the Ekdahls for one year, is rich family history on a grand scale that passes rapidly before our eyes, much like a long deeply-moving novel whose characters we have come to know, and dread leaving when the book, and in this case, the film, ends.
