Criterion Trailer 263: Fanny & Alexander

[FeigningPatriot]

i forgot i ever watched this movie. It really dosnt feel like an Ingmar Bergman film but its great none the less

[davidkglevi]

Allan Edwalls speech to the theatre is the essense of everything the theatre means to me.

[kleutertjes]

Not bashing this movie but without the voice over trailer guy I really can't make out what this is about. Will give it a try though.

[Risenok]

My favourite film... my favourite Bergman.... genius!

[ixcatzin]

And Jan Malmsjö as The Devil

[Neonman78]

Where can I find this music?

[personamahsa]

[Bash316]

Autumn Sonata

The Magic Flute

Persona

Fanny and Alexander (5-hour version)

[Ala13Kokakolo]

@Bash316 I got all of them. And my favourite is and always will be fanny og alexander

[corrupt200]

Why does Alexander dress in sailor suits all the tinme?

[YvesIsaki]

that was children's clothes back then. also teenagers dressed like adults until the 1950's.

[fredmila]

Alexander knew exactly what was coming when he threw himself on the table

[joooachim]

This movie is great, and those who think that this is some boring shit, I say: Go and watch MTV then.

[jkellis2]

@joooachim No can ever surpass the artistry of Ingmar Bergman and his cinematographer, Sven Nykvist as well as many acclaimed performances who starred in his films. MTV...what the hell has happened to you in over a decade? Nothing is the same anymore. Oh, well.

[gmork13]

This is my favorite non-english speaking movie. I wish I had the 5 hours version.

[freckldface]

That's it! Thankyou!

[ostattack]

Its sad that the 5 hour version isent released in sweden

[GBOY69GAY]

ostattack

I do not know if that 5 hour version is released in Sweden or not? I am from Finland and I have it. If it is not available in Sweden you can easily buy it via net delivered by post from Britannia for example. You know those net stores like Amazon and many other. I think that it is very strange if that 5 hours version is not released in Sweden today, becouse it is available in net stores European wide with swedish lanquage and english subtitles.

[ostattack]

I can confirm that its not released in sweden. Very strange indeed

[Zerlina12]

the "song" or the musicpiece who is starting arund 1:16 and lot of people is asking about is..I think, from some of Shuberts Pianotrios.

[GBOY69GAY]

Well, I still remember this film and how it facinated me when I saw it first time. There are really rare films that have had that kind of influence. The film is simply amazing, the greatest work of Bergman absolutely. That film is real art and film classic, not calculated mass entertainment product, so easy to forget after watching.

[MeatyCockandBallz]

Great words!

[SofiaAlskarOlaSalo]

haha den vann bara 1 oscar Zerlina xD

[mef83]

nix, den vann fyra oscar.

[GBOY69GAY]

Ha ha... Fanny and Alexander got four Oscar, easy to check from net. That fact is on the cover of my Fanny and Alexander DVD box too :)

[Zerlina12]

Jaha. Och? Det är ändå en av de bästa filmerna som gjorts.

[RegardeLaMer]

Got the 5-disc criterion collection!!! w00t!

[danselits]

incredible way of using the swedish language. everything is perfect! 5h of the best..

[losolvidados31]

This might be Bergman's greatest film. Some might argue for Persona, Wild Strawberries or The Seventh Seal. Haunting in the most literal sense!

[freckldface]

I saw this movie over summer holidays when I was 11 or twelve. It has such an impact on one's conciousness, that it affects me to this day, some twenty years later. Still an amazing fim. What an incredible artist Bergman was.

[TheCommunicants]

What's the song that starts at 01.16 called?

[bondurango]

On it's initial release, there was a storm of critcism over the fact that the father of Fanny and Alexander looked like Adolph Hitler because of his mustache which has since been changed or simply air brushed out. The original Hitlerian looking father made the film very creepy especially when his ghost appears before Alexander in the drawing room softly playing the piano. It is one of the most hauntingly eerie and yet realistic moments I've ever seen like some very vivid dream.

[RegardeLaMer]

I want to see this movie so bad... I am trying to get ahold of the boxset... This is the only Bergman Criterion I DON'T have!!! :(

[Marlean]

Vad är det för låt som spelas i slutet av trailern?

[kidderminstercol]

Yes, the most wonderful film, and like the person earlier, along with The Magic Flute, I am in movie heaven.

[pinatt11]

Ja, du kanske kommer att förstå när du en dag har blivit torr bakom öronen och gått igenom vad det riktiga livet ger, och då menar jag inte livet genom game cube eller nåt liknande.

[nibble222]

Vad är det han har gjort som ska vara så bra? Den här filmen ser ju ut som en random B-film?

[phille22]

Random B-film? idiot

[Priggles]

Random B-film? Herregud! Fanny och Alexander är en av de absolut bästa filmer som någonsin gjorts! Ett äkta mästerverk!

[Zerlina12]

En B-film? fanny och Alexander. Nejdu, det är den bästa svenska filmen som någonsin gjorts. Språket, skådespelarna, allt. Och "by the way" så vann den en rad oscars också.

[Zerlina12]

This movie and The Magic flute is my favourites

[diokhan24]

rest in peace ingmar bergman ;__;

this is one of my favourite movies...

[colvinis]

R.I.P. Ingmar Bergman. You will be remembered.

[TacoTerje]

One of the most beautiful Bergman movie I've ever seen:-D
