Wow, I've been called out here. Definitely dropped the ball, I've had Fanny and Alexander sitting on my shelf for quite some time too... Alright I'll watch it soon.

TV version? I'd recommend going for his most depressing films now, check out Cries and Whispers, Brink of Life, Through a Glass Darkly, and Skammen

I've had Fanny & Alexander for about a month now. Just can't motivate myself to watch it, so sad

That easily happens - same thing happened to me (and I still haven't rated it on this site :? ).

I wouldn't recommend watching his depressing films first - that may turn someone off pretty quickly. You've seen Wild Strawberries and Seventh Seal... so... IMO Summer Interlude and The Magician should go before Virgin Spring, Persona ,The Silence and Cries and Whispers. All are equally masterpieces. But I prefer to see what makes a person happy before they tactfully rip out your heart and put it through a meat grinder.
