    The 312-minute director's cut is Bergman's finale. Both form and content are a good return. Indoor drama, split scenes; discusses all the themes that Master Bo is concerned with: God, death, fantasy, love, marriage, and family relationships, although not grand but extremely...

    The grand and exquisite aura, the first half is a bit difficult to enter into the play, but the second half is really enjoyable. Through the perspective of Alexander at the bottom of the table, it presents the experiences and adventures emanating from the original family, uncovering the filth under the holy light and breaking it up. Indistinguishable truth of lies, interspersed with successive sieges of Bergman's experience and transcendental views, the restaurant owner's speech + Strindberg to...

    Probably the best children's movie I've ever seen. In the bizarre world of adulthood, looking up and confronting, every childhood experience is an adventure. "He can't tell the truth and the lie", the world of the movie does not have the truth and the...

    SIFF's third Bergman, if you watch this first, you may fall in love with Bergman immediately. It turns out that in addition to the formalism with a strong sense of black and white and almost no dialogue, Bergman still has such a warm and complete story. Especially at the beginning of the full-color Christmas, there were laughter and laughter. It is in strong contrast with the emptiness of black and white and gray of the bishop's house. //2021.4.10 #Piaojia Second brush on the big screen....

    This movie is a bit demanding for viewers. If you don't have a certain level, you may not understand it. Like me, you only understand a little after reading the explanation of the DVD booklet; then you can barely understand the beauty of this movie. Where is it interesting. In short, it is very different from ordinary movies. I have tasted a glass of high-grade red wine, and I have to let others explain to me how its delicate taste is...

    Too beautiful. Five hours were not enough, so I went back and watched more than half of the first scene. Reading novels does the same sometimes. When the fate of a group of characters and the end of the story are known, and looking back at them and not knowing what they will be like, and how a well-laid out, well-recited story is opened, there is a kind of stealing. The satisfaction of the eye of...

    21_132. I watched the five-and-a-half-hour version of the director's cut, which is actually a TV series version. The picture is naturally quite beautiful, but the main body of the story has little to do with the name of the movie. In the end, the film clearly illustrates two things: women should not get married casually, and they must rely on men to support them if they are not financially independent. As a result, even if a man abuses himself and the children born by his deceased husband,...

    Swedish master Bergman swan song, semi-autobiographical nature, won the Oscar for best foreign language film. From a child's perspective, the rhythm is slow but not dull, and the performance is...

    The extravagant scenes in the first half, the ambiguous feelings between the little master and the maid, are indeed a bit of a dream of Red Mansions, but then they did not start a grand narrative, but turned into a fairy tale with extremely simple clues, Bergman's mysticism It's bluffing and leaves some room for interpretation, but the whole movie is really long and...

    boy and tyrant

    The 300-minute full version, the second Bergman I watched, this kind of family story reminds me of those Victorian or Russian 19th century novels, covering so much, complicated and detailed.

    The part where Alexander fought his stepfather was really heart-wrenching. The bishop's mind control law is...

Fanny and Alexander quotes

  • Ekdahlska huset - Helena Ekdahl: Everything can happen. Everything is possible and probable. Time and space do not exist. On a flimsy framework of reality, the imagination spins, weaving new patterns.

  • Ekdahlska huset - Helena Ekdahl: Yes my son, one can be old and a child at the same time.
