When his mother remarries a stern bishop, Alexander and his sister Fanny are banished to a gothic world. Directed by Ingmar Bergman and drawing heavily on his own memories, it highlights the young protagonist’s fascination with storytelling, while also serving as a kind of confessional critique of Bergman’s films and reworked themes, with trademark scenes of marital infighting, desperate grief, and searching existential enquiry.
