an old man recalling his past.
Swedish title is Smultronstället, which literally means "The wild strawberry patch" but idiomatically signifies an underrated gem of a place, often with personal or sentimental value.
INGMAR BERGMAN
, Wild Strawberries is often considered to be one of Bergman's greatest and most moving films
Grouchy, stubborn and egotistical Professor Isak Borg is a widowed 78-year-old physician who specialized in bacteriology
During the trip, Isak is forced by nightmares, daydreams, old age and impending death to reevaluate his life.
He reminisces about his childhood at the seaside and his sweetheart Sara, with whom he remembered gathering strawberries, but who instead married his brother.
Borg finally arrives at his destination and is promoted to Doctor Jubilaris, but this proves to be an empty ritual. That night, he bids a loving goodbye to his young friends, to whom the once bitter old man whispers in response to a playful declaration of the young girl's love, "I'll remember." As he goes to his bed in his son's home, he is overcome by a sense of peace, and dreams of a family picnic by a lake. Closure and affirmation of life have finally come, and Borg's face radiates joy.
Victor David Sjöström (Swedish: [ˈvɪktɔɾ ˈɧœˈstɾœm] (
listen); in the United States sometimes known as Victor Seastrom; 20 September 1879 – 3 January 1960) was a pioneering Swedish film director, screenwriter and actor. He began his career in Sweden, before moving to Hollywood in 1924. Sjöström worked primarily in the silent era; his best known films include The Phantom Carriage(1921), He Who Gets Slapped (1924) and The Wind (1928). Later in life, he played the leading role in Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries (1957).[1] Sjöström was Sweden's most prominent director in the "Golden Age of Silent Film" in Europe, and is noted as a pioneer of continuity editing in narrative filmmaking.[2]
When your were little you belived in Santa Claus, now you belive in God.
The punishment is loneliness.
Professor Isak Borg: If I have been feeling worried or sad during the day, I have a habit of recalling scenes from childhood to calm me. So it was this evening.
Dr. Evald Borg: It's absurd to bring children into this world and think they'll be better off than we were.
Honorary Doctor! They might as well appoint me Honorary Idiot.
SORA-So, did God exist?
Magnificent, this is a must for all humanity to see. Bergman is a master plain & simple.
