But now the Ekdahls' frame-filling luxuries are even fuller, their decadence dazzlingly more decadent—the first act's extended Christmas Day pageant and dinner-time festivities become as much about their consumption as ours. 



Everything gets an upgrade, from Marik Vos's chic costume design and Anna Asp's sensory-overloading art direction to cinematography legend Sven Nykvist's lush dollies and measured zooms. (All three won Oscars for their work.) 



But as the words on Alexander's puppet proscenium [dictate] in the opening shot, "Ei Blot Til Lyst" ("Not for pleasure alone"): The longer running time [fleshes] out motives and [sheds] light on previously unnoticed performances. 



Crucial speeches get vocalized, phantoms in the attic literally materialize, and Alexander's imagination is finally set free during a mythic final-act yarn [spun] by his bedside. 



Go on, indulge yourself.
