A beautiful and multi-faceted piece of work. I have a thing against dream sequences but here they work splendidly, revealing the state of Isak's subconscious without being too oblique and only occasionally being too obvious.

A beautiful tale about life, love, childhood, relationships and most of all: dealing with death. Bergman was never so philosophic about these aspects and Bjornstrand delivers one of the ultimate performances in the history of film.

This is a film everybody should see in their lifetime. Victor Sjostrom portrays such an amazing character, one that is a reflection of himself, and he does a fantastic job doing so. Bergman's trademark themes of the meaning of life and death are present in this, and are explored in a way only Bergman knows how. I truly believe that if the right person watches this movie, it can have the power to change someones life, and as cheesy as that sounds its true. Magnificent picture.

Personal and haunting; Bergman really captures modern ethical malaise and despair better than anyone (Bjornstrand's speech in the rain is one of the most devastating scenes I've ever witnessed), but the film also includes pleasant breezes of nostalgia and warmth. A remarkable sophisticated feature for a relatively young (i.e. under 40) Bergman.

The unexamined life isn't worth living. It's especially Dickensian, isn't it? For its nostalgic reverie, the passages of dream and fantasy, and indeed the dread of looming death. The primary feeling is of peace and reconciliation, instead of the cynicism often evinced elsewhere by this filmmaker. It's a warm breeze in the twilight. What discerning taste: the script, performances, and camera all in idyllic harmony, and all rather concise and not terribly oblique. This is kind of a perfect film.

Absolutely amazing film that is probably my favorite of all time. There are so many emotions conveyed in this film and one of the few that makes you rethink the way you are living your life. An interesting view into the psyche of a man who regrets much of his past, but instead aims to right his wrongs. Extremely powerful and my pick for the title of greatest film of all time.

This is the reward in the Bergman boxset after Crisis and A Ship to India. Oddly, as despairing at the synopsis of this film reads, there are moments of levity in this film. It's also a perfect title, and possibly one of the reasons I wanted to see this so much in my youth.

A great movie, technically superb, gorgeously photographed, with great direction and acting, and all that jazz. The themes of death and the meaning of life are very well done, though not as well done as in Seventh Seal. I didn't completely fall in love with it, but it's an excellent movie by any standard you can think of.

(Viewed on 11/07/13): Wild Strawberries is arguably the best film ever made about aging and coming to terms with one's mortality while contemplating a life of regret. Bergman and Sjostrom elevate what could have been standard dramatic material into something resembling great literature, exploring timeless yet painful truths about our finite existence in a way that is resonant and beautiful. A true classic.

Bergman explores the themes of death, life, and forgiveness in Wild Strawberries. Using one man's life as the film's backdrop, Bergman makes a number of convincing statements about the pitfalls of a life lived without forgiveness or compassion. For Bergman when one is hurt it may take time to forgive, but whatever one does one must never become callous towards life/love. The consequence of such callousness can cause one to be 'dead' long before they have died.

Wild Strawberries is a lovely, lovely film. I sat down to watch it and felt as if I was lifted from my chair, floating, following Isak's day. Ingmar Bergman's script is truly special; this is but one of few films that induce laughter, invoke thought, and create such a charming world. His direction is rich with contemplative symbolism, and the score should also be made note of. Wild Strawberries, though, did not emotionally engage me. The ending, while sweet, is anti-climatic. I just wanted more.

The opening scene left me awestruck at the delicacy and power of Bergman's film-making abilities, and from there it only gets better. The film explores themes such as love, relationships, regret, old-age, and death with Bergman's sympathetic humanism shining through. Bjornstrand is restrained and reflective as he brilliantly captures his character's own personality. As usual for Bergman it is a visual feast, with an excellent cast that provokes a response from the viewer.

The movie is pretty much a 90 minute symbolic journey. To really appreciate it, I had to rethink about scenes and people until I grasped their significance in forming our understanding of the main character's self reflection. This is a subdued, quiet movie that doesn't beat anything over your head, but rather gently and quietly settles you into its somber story. Not a movie for someone looking for a quick bit of Friday night entertainment. This is a masterpiece of thoughtful introspection.

A man in his twilight years reminisces about his failed marriage, lonely life, his son, and most of all..regret. Instead of wallowing in cynicism Ingmar Bergman addresses acceptance with yourself in life. It's abstract but full of interesting metaphorical imagery. What makes it provocative is that Victor Sjostrom was in his twilight years so the performance has emotional depth. The last 20 minutes of the film are simply poignant and beautiful without a hint of artificial sentimentality.

Far more relateable than the Seventh Seal; I understand the purpose of this film at least. However, the philosophical takeaways seem more obvious than profound: moral rectitude and emotional distance may be rational but they repel others because most human beings don't work this way. Still, nicely shot and acted.

A curious companion to the more farcical Seventh Seal released in the same year--both depicting pilgrimages of sorts to the ends of life. Wild Strawberries is mostly quiet in its observations, and Sjöström's swansong performance shows some genuine remorse and reflection.

3 for 3 on liking not loving Bergman, maybe his own dream logic and surrealist explorations of deep themes are too delicate for my tastes, though they remain effective and profound. Sometimes age hurts movies about existentialism because there's some frustrating arms-length distance to genuine messy human experience, poetic but sometimes stoic, yet usually sincere and kind enough to be good. I like when Bergman shows that the ultimate bliss is four people around a table enjoying a meal outdoors.

When we are young, we wonder what life will be like when we are old. And, when we are old, we'll ask ourselves, "What did I miss?" "What was my life all about?" This movie centers around a 78-year-old doctor who simply has his "wild strawberries" moments. Sweet but short memories of his childhood. A beautiful, thought-provoking film. "The truth is that I am forever living in my childhood." - Ingmar Bergman

A very demanding viewing experience is this movie, and while it may be ideal fodder for college class disquisitions, I'll complain that writing a screenplay from theme ALWAYS produces an unsatisfying story, as it did here. Would have made a better painting than movie. The dense dialogue demands concentration (especially if you don't speak Swedish). Avoid this if you are depressed. It is probably THE most grim movie I have ever seen, and its particular pain is unforgiving in its universality.

A truly unique road movie; one man's graceful acceptance of senility. The much revered symbolism is to me, however, distractingly clumsy. There is something semiotically deficient about Bergman's portrayal of dreams and memories, he seems here to be reaching for surrealism but alas he is no Buñuel. But the dialogue is so brilliant that one is still presented with a powerful, genuine and sincere exploration of life and death. Victor Sjöström is perfect in this film.

Even at 1957, this is a premise that already feels rather well-trodden, most notably by a Christmas Carol and Citizen Kane. Still, Bergman does bring something new to the table with Wild Strawberries. Most notably, I was encaptured by the surrealist dream sequences and the contrast between the professor's past and the relationships of the young hitchhikers. In the end though, I do think I prefer the aforementioned stories better.

Wonderfully shot story with so much complexity and contemplation in only 90min. It's amazing how much it is able to say about the ways our upbringing, grievances, and emotional coping can affect those around us, passed on like a genetic trait. It was very touching to see the character come to terms with what his legacy is, and his last attempts to reconcile his regrets before the closing days on his life.

‘Wild Strawberries' leads you into this delicate reflection of a man, tortured by early memories. Bergman is clear with sentimental values that question one's existence. This figure of guilt begins to form, and it finds melancholy beyond the surface of a fulfilled life. It's painted with pictures of loneliness as one ages. The film goes without a certain affection I was looking for, but it's beautifully written and a Bergman classic.

Artsy-fartsy bullshit belonging to the "sad people being sad" genre. Successful old man is haunted by visions of his mortality, and regretting he didn't get to marry his first-choice childhood love (who left him because he was a big pussy). Boo-fucking-hoo. Instead he married a raging slut that was constantly unfaithful to him, but he was always ever eager to forgive her, because he was a big pussy. I hate this film.

"In a dream sequence, Isak is asked by Sten Alman, now the examiner, to read "foreign" letters on the blackboard. He cannot. So, Alman reads it for him: "A doctor's first duty is to ask forgiveness," from which he concludes, "You are guilty of guilt."" The object of faith, of that patch of Wild Strawberries, of Sara, which only by what might be his id, manifested as his brother, can be captured, is not real; guilt made it out to be, and that is the only thing he ever was guilty of.

A seriously impressive film with some of the best dream sequences I've seen. A great psychodrama that leaves me wondering if Borg is really an awful person or if he's just terribly insecure.

I need to rewatch Wild Strawberries, I was distracted at the time but still felt that it was a very worn out story type with one or two powerful moments.

All along the line, there's nothing but cold and death and loneliness. Bergman's existential film is about a cold elder professor (Victor Sjöström; father of Swedish film), who drives to receive a honorary degree for his file work. Along the way he meets his family members and three young strangers. As he bonds with his daughter-in-law and new young companions, gets hunted by unsettling dreams, something changes. Bergman is depressing like always, but there is some warmth too.

awww. so human, so touching. on loneliness and old age. yet it manages to to contain more warmth and friendship than any other bergman film i've seen so far. perhaps doesn't contain some of the amazing moments of some others but still great.

The kind of movie that fills you with nostalgia for places you've never been and people you've never met.

Not without its false notes, but nevertheless a beautifully filmed and beautifully observed meditation on death, life and everything that comes with it. Great structure and terrific performances as well.

Found this rather moving. In particular, I loved seeing the relationship build between Victor Sjostrom and Ingrid Thulin, who both give great performances.

Its theme probably resonates with anybody beyond adolescence. Its pacing elevates it above most of its contemporaries (including the other Bergman films I've seen so far). Credit to Sjostrom as Isak for his beautifully nuanced performance, without which the film would have likely failed to resonate.

An interesting film but one that didn't entirely satisfy me in the way some later films with similar themes do.

For me the film is not about him coming to terms with his coldness but instead him learning to balance out other's incorrect views of him with a realisation of who he actually was and is.
