Wild Strawberries
Ingmar Bergman / SE, 1957 / 92 min.
An aging professor (Victor Sjöström) revisits his life in flashbacks and dreams. He is forced to accept his mistakes and has to make peace with his immanent demise. Warm, humane masterpiece replete with iconic images. New digital restoration.
Professor Isak Borg (wonderfully embodied by Victor Sjöstrom) travels to the university to accept an honorary doctorate. During the drive he revisits his youth in flashbacks, fantasies, dreams and nightmares. A field of wild strawberries reminds him of Sara (Bibi Andersson) the girl he was once in love with.
