Fanny and Alexander Uncut Part 1

Part 1 of 2

An epic of childhood described by Ingmar Bergman as "the sum total of my life as a filmmaker," this has been widely seen in the US only in its three-hour theatrical version, for which, Bergman wrote, "I had to cut into the nerves and lifeblood of the film." In its first theatrical presentation on the West Coast, the complete version of this masterpiece, running over five hours, restores more than two hours of scenes that enrich the film even further. This warm and sprawling family saga features a large cast, including Bertil Guve, Pernilla Allwin, Allan Edwall, Ewa Fröling, Pernilla August, Erland Josephson and Harriet Andersson.

The film will be screened in special High Definition format and presented in two parts, each with separate admission. Part 1 runs approximately 170 minutes. (Sweden 1982)
