The TVI Take
Ingmar Bergman's 1982 five-hour family epic about an early-20th-century Swedish theatrical family. The structural commitment to letting childhood-perception be the film's actual subject, and the 312-minute theatrical-release length committing to a register most cinema refuses, established the work as the canonical conclusion of Bergman's catalog.
Won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar; widely cited as among the medium's most-canonical late works.
