Wild Strawberries is my favorite Bergman film because it is more accessible and endearing than The Virgin Spring and The Seventh Seal, which are more favored by critics. The ending is happy, with Isak gaining new insight and self-acceptance, and his son Evald finding it within himself to be more involved and caring with his wife Marianne. And of course, the car steals the show!

Wild Strawberries is less about how a man lived, and more about how men and women have never lived. Until Marianne agrees to let Isak describe his dream, the dialog between the men and women oscillates between empty praise and arrogant criticism. That parallels the squeaky wheel, the heartbeats, the cuckoo birds, and even the dialog itself, wherein one character's words mirror the other's. Wild Strawberries is about how the genders have never truly been intimate, that it's killing humanity, and time is running out. Watch the film again and notice how much repetitive dialog there is.

Not the film I saw--Isak is appreciated and loved by a variety of characters; and he seems to appreciate those close to him.

It's the people in our lives that truly matter but we always seem to disregard them until it's kind of late. It seems to be a mistake so many make.

There's a lot to love on many levels in this superb film. Thank you for your excellent sensitive exposition and celebration of it. (P.S. As I get older I love Isak's car more and more for its theatrical presence and spaciousness)

Haven't heard of this film before. What struck me to be the most interesting was the dream sequence. It may have been over the top, far too much emphasis on death, but I liked how it was shot and portrayed. Sometimes emphasis is a good thing.

@ Jesper .. maybe by today’s film standards .. but Bergman’s instinctive genius film was made in 1957 when psychoanalysis & dream interpretation was in the zeitgeist ..self reflection questioning ..was the time Freudian analysis emerging into mass culture Bergman captured it .. emotionally intellectually & visually .. , )
