Ingmar writes in the book "Lanterna Magica": I leaned over my puppet
theatre, letting the curtain voluptuously rise above Little Red Riding
Hood's dark forests or Cinderella's brilliant ballroom. When playing, I
ruled this stage, and my imagination peopled it." Compare to the role that
theatre plays in "Fanny and Alexander".
