Wild Strawberries - Criterion Collection description
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 Sjöström 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

Wild Strawberries

This is Bergman's first work where surreal sequences are imbedded in the picture. Though not intertwined with reality as in his later films but rather clearly separated from the flow as Borg's dreams, those scenes are terrific and must be very unusual at the time. Ingrid Thulin's calm beauty compliments her excellent performance greatly. There are a few minor but irritating details one cannot miss, particularly, the highway accident with the car hurling into a ditch as a football and its passengers getting out with a smile and without a scratch, and Sara and the boys. While Bibi Andersson looks just a bit older than the 17-year-old character she plays, the boys long forgot when they were that age, now both of mature complexion and well-shaven. Slightly over-hyped, it's a very good film nonetheless.
