I'm watching Bergman's Fanny and Alexander today

for the first time.

Hope it does not disappoint.

Interesting OP. I have never really "gotten" this one.. And I am a major Bergman fan.

I own the Criterion Collection version and try to watch every Christmas, and I generally do not watch until the end..

I prefer the shorter theatrical version to the long made-for-TV one.

I think that's the version I'm watching r2

The TV version was superb. The edited, movie version left out so much of Bergman's excellence.

F & A is better for Xmas. Watch SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE instead. A married couple, socially isolated, psychologically and verbaly abuse each other. It's like real life now. And it's 6 hours long, so you can binge-watch in your own social isolation.

^^^ Pfffft! A mere SIX HOURS? What an amateur!

I loved it. Not what I expected. I watched the theatrical version and now want to watch the longer version (but not today)

I love anything by Bergman. It’s the artist i love not about greater or lesser works.

Fanny and Alexander is one of my favorites. Maybe I should watch it again, since it’s been a while,
