Love the film but I don't buy all of it --- Vincent didn't need to be so rude and unsympathetic.... and teaching a kid to gamble, that's just not quite right.
A sumptuously emotional period piece and a tender recollection of childhood memories and escapes into fantasies, Fanny & Alexander is one of Bergman's most personal, richly detailed and haunting masterpieces that serves as a fitting end to his cinematic career.
