If Fanny and Alexander hit the spot, these will too

Both are Ingmar Bergman's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Takes it somewhere less twisty than Fanny and Alexander does

The same hand behind both of them: Ingmar Bergman
The difference: Trades the dream logic of Fanny and Alexander for an angle of its own

One thread runs through both: grief
The difference: Leans harder into crime than Fanny and Alexander does

The same mix in both: stillness, then melancholy

Dreamlike and twisty in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 1940s, in a different era of the craft

Both are built on the same subject: ghost

The same preoccupation in both: child abuse

Drama with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: mortality


The same preoccupation in both: mortality

Both keep coming back to the same thing: grief
