Review of Wild Strawberries (1957) by Robert D — 16 Apr 2011
Bergman's reflective masterpiece of mortality and redemption is far more hopeful than his other masterpieces of the era The Virgin Spring & The Seventh Seal. Victor Sjostrom plays Prof. Isak Borg, a man who upon his day of achievement, reflects upon his life and his many failures on a road trip to get his honorary degree at the University where he studied.
Creative use of flashback, including many scenes where the elderly prof. interacts with his past have been used as inspiration from Kurasawa to Woody Allen. A deep, heartfelt film of reflection and realization.
One of my Top 5 faves.
