"Fanny & Alexander" Wins Foreign Language Film: 1984 Oscars

[@futuropasado]

One of the greatest films ever made. The best by Bergman, with a magical quality..

[@dianas-v8418]

My number one of all time. A master's masterpiece.

[@buckleygeneration]

Best movie to ever win in this category, but more deserving of Best Picture than any nominee that year.

[@brandocervera3854]

yes but then again the oscars are a joke so who cares

[@robertpetrie6847]

8 1/2?

[@masterking1427]

@@brandocervera3854 Don't be too idiot. You watched this video, then said "who care about the Oscar." WTF?

[@2010SLP]

Although I can’t imagine opting to watch the theatrical cut nowadays when you can easily get ahold of the FAR superior full length television miniseries.

[@josemiguelgarcia122]

And win best picture

[@mattiripattila8044]

Jörn Donner, the producer accepting the award has died today at 86. The only Finnish Oscar winner. Rest in peace.

[@sesaarinen]

Yet!

[@technodroog]

impeccably deserving of this award, "Fanny & Alexander" should have been recognized in the Best Picture category as well. Foreign language films have been nominated and this one should have been one of them

[@rah62]

In order to be nominated for Best Picture, a film has to comply with the Academy's rules governing release of said film within Los Angeles within a specific time period. This film did not qualify.

[@jacobskinner3522]

RAHbert503 Fanny and Alexander did qualify for Best Picture as far as exhibition requirements are concerned; otherwise, it would not have earned the nominations and wins it did. You are right, however, that it was not eligible for Best Picture. During this period, foreign language films submitted for Best Foreign Film were ineligible for Best Picture nominations.

[@mackielunkey2205]

Holy shit did your comment age like wine.

[@neongoblet]

Fanny and Alexander is one of the best three movies of all time imo

[@bastilohh]

I`m sorry if this is a stupid question, but why is everyone referring to this as a movie? Isn't it a mini series which was just later got a cut as a film?

[@haywoco2]

@@bastilohh The original draft was quite long (over 300 minutes), so it was first cut and released as a 188-minute film, and only later was the full draft separated into episodes and shown in Sweden as a miniseries. For many years the film cut was the only way to watch it in America, and so that is all many people know.

[@DeeNice681]

How was ‘Sugar Cane Alley’ not even nominated?

[@lindamellingen5977]

Actually it was not about the complications of family life; it was about toxic religiosity...and it's destructive role in family life too. I am not an atheist, and I find this film to be a very brave move on the role of religion when it goes against what we today seem to have forgotten the value of: The Human Rights Declaration. Yes, therein one is given the right to religious practice - but what when the religious practice violates the rest of the Human Rights mentioned in the same document? We are allowed to express our justifiable concerns today - but JUST where it comes to two religions; Judaism (very much so criticised ao in the UN), and Christianity. About time this RIGHT to put a critical light is extended to all religions, and their practices where they infringe national jurisprudence and legislation.
