This movie helped me learn more about my favorite director back then. It tied his filmography together.
Unlike many of his movies, Fanny and Alexander doesn't have a lot of fantastical elements or psychologisms. It's just a beautiful truthful story full of hurt and heartbreak. My childhood wasn't exactly happy so I can relate in many ways.
There's a making-off for that movie. At one point, Bergman argues with Sven Nykvist (the cinematographer), because Bergman wanted a scene to look and feel just like it looked in his childhood, while Nykvist just wanted to make a good movie.
Eventually, Bergman stops and says, getting emotional: "it happened like that exactly". It is haunting.
