Fanny and Alexander (Cinemax Tuesday at 3 a.m.), Ingmar Bergman’s great 1983 farewell to screen directing, is a turn-of-the-century family saga centering on a brother and sister, whose happy existence is swiftly terminated when their mother remarries.
Paris, Texas (Cinemax Wednesday at 2:50 a.m.), mysterious and magnificent, is Wim Wenders’ 1984 film about family, separation and a man’s last act of repentance. With Harry Dean Stanton and Nastassja Kinski.
The New Land (Bravo Thursday at 6 and 11 p.m.), the 1972 sequel to “The Emigrants,” has less impact than the original, but it is still toweringly impressive as Max Von Sydow and Liv Ullmann settle their Northern Minnesota homestead.
