TV & Film
It’s a Bergman bonanza as Dave and Ashley review FANNY AND ALEXANDER (1982). This portrait of a large family seen through the eyes of young Alexander is both joyful and devastating. Ashley is drawn in by the powerful and grounded female characters, and the wonderful, terrible portrayals of characters coping (or not) with their own mortality. Dave finds some connection to his past, and is inspired by the contrast of Alexander’s Christmas spent with a large, warm family versus time spent in the austere home of his sadistic stepfather, the Bishop. All this plus Dave’s review of Criterion’s monumental new 39-film box set, INGMAR BERGMAN’S CINEMA.
