Wild Strawberries
Directed by Ingmar Bergman
1957
Sweden
★ 7.8 editorial score
Bergman cast the founding father of Swedish cinema as an old man reckoning with his own coldness: a drive across the country, punctuated by dreams that keep ambushing him.
“Through gorgeous superimpositions, Bergman shows the past intruding on the present, as Sjöström comes to terms with the regrettable decisions that determined his life’s course. But "Wild Strawberries" remains a surprisingly optimistic and affirmative movie about getting old: It’s only natural for people at the end of their lives to reflect on the roads taken or not taken. And there’s peace on the other side.”
