I fucking HATE Fanny & Alexander. They should burn every print of the bloody film so projectionists won't ever have to wade through it again.

And while I think of it: they should burn every damned Bergman print there is. The man is dead, ffs, let's get of his films, too!

It and Autumn Sonata are the only Bergman films I've seen. A lot of people consider Bergman as being overrated, but I can't come to any conclusions yet as I haven't seen enough of his stuff.

I found Autumn Sonata to be somewhat bland, but Fanny Alexander was great.

I'm sure they'll come up with an excuse to show a Bergman film or three again.

It's also an amazingly modern film.
