Fanny och Alexander (1982, Sweden)

Ingmar Bergman's epic and brooding study of a stepfather's cruelty to the children.

Fanny and Alexander escape to the safety of a Jewish friend's house; but even here there is a mysterious family member, Ismael. Described as a hermaphrodite, he is played by the female actress Stina Ekblad.

The shortened version of the film is over three hours long; but the dvd version is on two dvd disks and runs to five hours.
