SCREENING

Fanny and Alexander

Monday, Dec 26 at 12:30 pm

Location: Redstone Theater

Dir. Ingmar Bergman. 1983, 312 mins. Presented with one intermission. DCP. In Swedish, German, and Yiddish with English subtitles. With Bertil Guve, Gun Wallgren, Erland Josephson. Bergman’s magnificent family saga encompasses a year in the life of the extended Ekdahl clan, as mostly seen through the eyes of the imaginative young Alexander. Part fairy tale, part existential drama, Fanny and Alexander is a lush banquet of a film, featuring gorgeous, Oscar-winning cinematography, art direction, and costume design. The film is shown here in Bergman’s preferred version, which aired as a four-part miniseries on Swedish television. The first fourth is devoted to the Ekdahls’ extravagant and warm Christmas party, certainly the most remarkable holiday gathering ever committed to film.

Tickets: $15 / $11 senior and students / $9 youth (ages 3–17) / discounted for MoMI members ($7–$11). Order tickets. Please pick up tickets at the Museum’s admissions desk upon arrival. All seating is general admission. Review safety protocols before your visit.
