If the venerating coverage surrounding Ingmar Bergman's death in July helped at all to pull the Swedish master back into favor, his sumptuous, haunting, and unusually tender 1982 magnum opus—presented for the first time theatrically in its original five-hour-plus television cut—should play to full houses as the first must-see of 2008. 

Intended by Bergman as his autumnal farewell to cinema, the thematic and practiced summation of an already canonized career, Fanny and Alexander seems equally vital as a nakedly psychological "in" to his earliest artistic impulses; 

nothing else in his oeuvre addresses so directly
his childhood escapes into fantasy as the by-product of a harsh Lutheran upbringing. As for Bergman's signature broodiness, we see here his lightest touch since 1955's sex farce Smiles of a Summer Night.
