Drama On 3: Fanny And Alexander

Fanny And Alexander is a beguiling drama by Ingmar Bergman about childhood, where imagination is found to be a passport out of dread and into mystery. Adapted for radio by Sharon Oakes, with songs composed and performed by Carl Prekopp.

Through the eyes of ten year-old Alexander, listeners hear the delights and conflicts of the Ekdahl family, a sprawling theatrical family living in turn of the 20th century Sweden. Bergman intended for this story to be his swan song, and it’s the legendary director’s warmest and most autobiographical film, which combines his trademark melancholy and emotional intensity with immense joy and sensuality.
