The film-event for January 2025 is Fanny and Alexander by Ingmar Bergman. Originally filmed in five episodes for television and later released in theatres in a condensed but equally remarkable version, the title is an authentic work-world and probably the synthesis and of imagination and inspiration of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. An absolute masterpiece that recapitulates the themes of an entire career: family conflicts, the rigid Protestant education, the suffocating atmosphere of bourgeois salons, the contrast between reality and imagination, the conflict between the conscious and the unconscious, life as performance, the mystery of the sacred and the liberatory function of art. A flood of nominations and awards, including four Oscars®.
