Fanny and Alexander Ingmar Bergman Taschen

Ingmar Bergman, Fanny and Alexander (1982)

Today marks the one hundredth birthday of legendary film director Ingmar Bergman. To celebrate, we take a look through Taschen’s stunning new publication The Ingmar Bergman Archives. Spanning Bergman’s extensive and varied works, it features the memorable opening scene from the semi-autobiographical Fanny and Alexander. Alexander, a representation of the young Bergman, plays The Three Musketeers with his puppet theatre, echoing some of the director’s fondest childhood memories. “Ej blot til lyst” above the archway is Danish for “Not just for pleasure”…
