Pros: The most accessible and personal Bergman film
Cons: The film’s resolution is a cop-out; character development is weak
Fanny and Alexander (1982) was Ingmar Bergman’s last major feature film, although he continued to work in theater and for Swedish television for another decade-and-a-half at least. For some movie-goers and reviewers, Fanny and ...

Pros: Music, direction, performances...
Cons: Main plot is resolved too easily, subplots aren't fleshed out.
Note: This review is for the theatrical version of the film, not the TV version. If you don't count Saraband -- and you shouldn't -- Fanny and Alexander is the last film that we ever saw from Ingmar Bergman, and other than The ...

Pros: An awe-inspiring, sweeping masterpiece; great performances; eye-filling sets
Cons: -
To most cineastes, the mention of Ingmar Bergman immediately elicits memories of his most famous films. Films like The Seventh Seal, Persona, Cries and Whispers. In his long collaboration with the cinema -- beginning in the mid-1940s and...
