We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

| Showings |
Two young Swedish children in the 1900s experience the many comedies and tragedies of their lively and affectionate theatrical family, the Ekdahls.
Dickensian in its extravagant emotional power – with a hint of Charlotte Bront – and some Chekhov in its melancholy.
★★★★★
A sumptuously produced period piece that is also a rich tapestry of childhood memoirs and moods, fear and fancy, employing all the manners and means of the best of cinematic theatrical from high and low comedy to darkest tragedy.
★★★★★
A big, dark, beautiful, generous family chronicle, which touches on many of the themes from earlier films while introducing something that, in Bergman, might pass for serenity.
