Happy Holidays from Criterion
This Christmas, party like it’s 1907. Few movie families have thrown more extravagant parties than Fanny and Alexander’s Ekdahls. Made up of generations of theater performers, the merry Swedish clan knows how to put on a good show, and as evidenced by this candy-colored clip from the film, they spare no expense in their annual December festivities (just try not to arrive late!). Enjoy this sweet slice of holiday cheer; we’ll see you in the New Year.
