Through the eyes of ten-year-old Alexander, we witness the delights and conflicts of the Ekdahl family, a sprawling bourgeois clan in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Sweden. Ingmar Bergman (THE SEVENTH SEAL) intended FANNY AND ALEXANDER as his swan song, and it is the legendary directors warmest and most autobiographical film, a four-time Academy Award winning triumph that combines his trademark melancholy and emotional intensity with immense joy and sensuality. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the Blu-ray version with both the theatrical and the original five-hour television version of this great work. Also included in the Blu-ray box set is Bergman's own feature-length documentary THE MAKING OF FANNY AND ALEXANDER, a unique glimpse into his creative process.
