Fanny and Alexander
The poor reception of From the Life of the Marionettes appears to have acted as a spur to Bergman, inspiring in him the necessary energy to carry through the biggest film project Sweden had ever witnessed. He had been on the verge of calling it a day as a filmmaker, but found himself unable to do so. 'When you're young', he observed, 'you can tell yourself that if it goes to hell, then you can always do something else. But the older you get, the more afraid you become. Afraid of not being able to live up to your own quality demands, of not coming up to the mark.' Writing in Images:
Fanny and Alexander has two "godfathers". There is [...] an illustration by E. T. A. Hoffman's stories that had haunted me time and time again, a picture from The Nutcracker. Two children are quivering close together in the twilight of Christmas Eve, waiting impatiently for the candles on the tree to be lighted and the doors to the living room to be opened. It is that scene that gave me the idea of beginning Fanny and Alexander with a Christmas celebration. The second godfather is Dickens: the bishop and his home, the Jew in his boutique of fantasies, the children as victims; the contrast between flourishing outside life and a closed world in black and white.

Ghosts haunt Alexander in Ingmar Bergman’s Fanny and Alexander as surely as two plays, Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Strindberg’s A Dream Play, haunt the film. This intertextual reference to the two plays highlights the world of mothers and the world of fathers that underscore the film’s deepest thematic structure: hope and possibilities. The world of fathers as exemplified by Oscar Ekdahl (Allan Edwall) and the Bishop Edvard Vergérus (Jan Malmsjö) is ineffectual and authoritarian while the world of mothers as represented by the grandmother’s (Gunn Wållgren) house is warm, life-affirming, and full of possibilities. The opposition of these two worlds structures the two halves of the film. However, both the world of the mothers and that of the fathers face a challenge from the imagina
