There are so many things to take away from Bergman’s masterpiece that it is difficult to cover everything in a single analysis. Plagued by strange dreams, Borg takes the time to introspect and reflect on his long life. 'Wild Strawberries’ is only the second film by influential Swedish director Ingmar Bergman that I have watched, and it completely blew me away. Irritable, cold, and aloof, Isak embarks on the journey with his daughter-in-law Marianne, with whom he has a distant and stilted relationship. During his trip, he encounters a lively group of young people and an unhappy couple, as well as various places that remind him of his childhood. ‘Wild Strawberries’ is a drama that follows 78-year-old Professor Isak Borg, who after 50 years of work is preparing to receive his doctorate from Lund University. I think there is a lot to unpack and take away from it, and believe I have only managed to skim the surface of this with particular focus on Bergman's exploration of dreams and loneliness. For a relatively short film, it is incredibly powerful. I watched 'Wild Strawberries' yesterday and was instantly compelled to write about it.
