Notes on forum pic: Denmark celebrates its Constitution Day on 5th June, and Sweden has its National Day on 6th June. A much longer and even more confusing Swedish movie is Fanny and Alexander, about two children whose father dies and who then have to live under the rule of their authoritarian stepfather. Alexander has an overly active imagination - or an ability to see the truth - and his stepfather goes to great lengths to tame his disobedience. Regularly repeated in stage productions in Sweden and other countries, Alexander's punishment with either a carpet beater or a cane is one of the most intense parts of the story. He has to apologise for lying to his stepfather, before he is allowed to pull up his pants. This movie too was an Oscar winner, for writer and director Ingmar Bergman.
