Movie Reviews of Wild Strawberries - Criterion Collection

Movie Review: Scrooge-Like Plot
Summary: 4 Stars

A strange film with a certain weirdnes that cycles between periods of heightened fascination and introspective periods of observation where nothing much happens. Keep in mind that this movie is filmed in black and white with subtitles. The photography itself is quite interesting, as is the myriad of odd/lovable characters that populate the plot. In essence, a Swedish "Scrooge-like" story where an elderly man reminisces and feels deep regret as he contemplates his past. Worth seeing.

Summary of Wild Strawberries - Criterion Collection

The film that catapulted Bergman to the forefront of world cinema is the director's richest, most humane movie. Traveling to receive an honorary degree, Professor Isak Borg (masterfully played by the veteran Swedish director Victor Sj?str?m), is forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and accept the inevitability of his approaching death. Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, Wild Strawberries captures a startling voyage of self-discovery and renewed belief in mankind.
An elderly college professor sets out in his car to receive an honorary degree--and takes a trip instead through his own past and subconscious--in this bittersweet but ultimately tender and understanding 1957 film by Swedish master Ingmar Bergman. Casting Swedish star Victor Sj?str?m in the lead, Bergman, then at the height of his powers as an international filmmaker, uses flashbacks and bright, lyrical storytelling to capture the full arc of one man's life: the successes that seem fleeting, the disappointments that linger in the memory, the regrets that never seem to let go. In some ways, it can be seen as a forerunner of Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry, except that Bergman's sense of irony is always more profound. --Marshall Fine
