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.
