The Swedish masterpiece....

Fanny & Alexander - the long version, 5 hours long...a delight in beauty, joy, (evil) and acting. Bergman knew the Swedish "frame of mind" inside and out. To enjoy (and understand) this film in its original language....is a privilege.

The photography by Sven Nykvist needs no words.

Sommarlek....

Maj-Britt Nilsson and Birger Malmsten

Enjoy while it lasts....

Viskningar och rop....

Nykvist, Bergman, Thulin and Ullmann

Whispers and shouts and not "Cries and Whispers" 
Sussurros e gritos e não "Lágrimas e suspiros"

Hovs Hallar....

- Vem är du ?

- Jag är döden 
- Kommer du för att hämta mig ?
- Jag har sedan länge gått vid din sida
