Fanny and Alexander
Long Movie Marathon Part VI
“a great film made by a piece of shit” is pretty much my universal description for every ingmar bergman movie.
i really really wish bergman wasnt such a cunt irl, because my god does he know how to make a film. even though i dont think i would consider this my favorite work of his (i enjoyed ‘The Seventh Seal’ and ‘The Hour of the Wolf’ a bit more), its still in contention alongside ‘Its a Wonderful Life’ as my favorite christmas movie ive seen thus far. im interested to watch the theatrical cut to see what scenes/sequences were removed from the directors cut as i didnt really think there was much fluff, it more than likely was because most people dont have time to watch a 5+ hour film in a single sitting lol.
(also i watched this last night but got caught up doing family stuff and i forgot to post it until just now. this film covers the 21st, so another review will go up later tonight for whatever long ass film i decide to watch today)
