Description

Our month of Christmas-themed movies wraps up with Ingmar Bergman's Fanny and Alexander, a lushly-filmed, sometimes dark, deeply-moving family drama about a brother and sister whose lives fall apart when their father dies and their mother remarries. With allusions to Hamlet and Charles Dickens, it's a heavy one, but then, some of the best Christmas stories are.

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that.
