Wild Strawberries

This timeless classic from legendary Ingmar Bergman is one of his best about a old man reflecting on his life during a journey to receive an award. A beautifully written, shot and acted film about life put on perspective. Through flashbacks, dreams and nightmares, the elderly Dr. Borg revisits his childhood and other events that makes him reflect on his life and face some realities of life before his impending death. It's also one of the warmest films of Bergman who's mostly known for his dark and cold masterpieces about human nature. Bergman regulars Bibi Anderson, Ingrid Thulin and Max von Sydow are in for the ride. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
