For their last film of the year (no shows on Christmas or New Year’s Eve), World Cinema is bringing back Ingmar Bergman’s Fanny and Alexander (1982)—Bergman’s last theatrical film and one of his best. Read my earlier review of the film—a look into the lives of a prosperous Swedish family in 1907—here: www.mountainx.com/movies/review/fanny_and_alexander.
