Blu-ray Release: Wild Strawberries

22 March 2013 7:02 AM, PDT | Disc Dish | See recent Disc Dish news »

Blu-ray & DVD Release Date: June 11, 2013

Price: Blu-ray $39.95

Studio: Criterion

Victor Sjöström and Bibi Andersson travel across the Swedish countryside in Wild Strawberries.

In the 1957 classic film drama Wild Strawberries by the  Swedish master Ingmar Bergman (Face to Face), one man embarks on a remarkable voyage of self-discovery–and then some.

Traveling to accept an honorary degree, Professor Isak Borg—masterfully played by veteran director Victor Sjöström (The Phantom Carriage)—is forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and make peace with the inevitability of his approaching death. Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, the film dramatizes that aforementioned voyage.

A richly humane masterpiece that deserves every bit of praise that’s been heaped onto it over the past half-century, Wild Strawberries is a genuine treasure from the golden age of art-house cinema and one of the films that catapulted Bergman to international acclaim.

Notebook's 5th Writers Poll: Fantasy Double Features of 2012

9 January 2013 9:40 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »

Looking back at 2012 on what films moved and impressed us, it is clear that watching old films is a crucial part of making new films meaningful. Thus, the annual tradition of our end of year poll, which calls upon our writers to pick both a new and an old film: they were challenged to choose a new film they saw in 2012—in theaters or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they also saw in 2012 to create a unique double feature.

All the contributors were asked to write a paragraph explaining their 2012 fantasy double feature. What's more, each writer was given the option to list more pairings, with or without explanation, as further imaginative film programming we'd be lucky to catch in that perfect world we know doesn't exist but can keep dreaming of every time we go to the movies.

How would you program some »
