Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, Wild Strawberries dramatizes one man’s remarkable voyage of self-discovery. This richly humane masterpiece, full of iconic imagery, is a treasure from the golden age of art-house cinema and one of the films that catapulted Ingmar Bergman (The Seventh Seal) to international acclaim. Review: Bergman's best - Ingmar Bergman's best film, looking fantastic here on Blu-Ray. I love the way the sights and sounds on a journey triggers of memoires of the old man's past. A wonderful film. Review: Emissary of love - I first saw Wild Strawberries on Saturday night TV when I was about 15. I watched it with my father. Where everybody else was that night I don't remember. We watched it alone in silence. Bergman, black-and-white images, Nordic landscapes, the sing-song cadences of the incomprehensible language, blonde Swedish beauty (Ingrid Thulin, Bibi Andersson) — visual information beamed into our California home from the dark side of the moon. The film ended. My dad got up and went to bed silently. Whatever the film said or didn't say to him I never heard, the secret locked away in the vault of his heart. What did it say to me? I can't remember exactly. What can 15 years on this planet teach you about anything? But it must have taught me something. It must have suggested my little world was not the only one. There are different ways of seeing and feeling, different textures in what we call the fabric of life. I remember sensing this, though there wasn't any way I could have put it into words. I remember how foreign Sweden looked and how its foreignness did not frighten me. If any thing, it thrilled me. As time passed the beauty of Ingrid haunted me. How does a woman become that beautiful and why doesn't her husband (played by Gunnar Bjornstand) love her for that beauty? She carried his baby. Good news, surely. No, not for Gunnar. He frowned and became surly and sulky when she told him. The child would be miserable, he said, just as he had been. Man hands on misery to man, said Philip Larkin, and there are times when we know this to be true. The elderly father/professor (played movingly by Victor Sjostrom) has lived selfishly. His career has been important, which means his standing in the academic/intellectual community. His accomplishments have been noticed, feted, honoured. He travels now with Ingrid by car from Stockholm to Lund to receive another award. But on the way he is sidetracked by all manner of things: summer daydreams of his carefree youth, scraps of conversation from his past, nightmares filled with Freudian symbolism, hitchhikers, a feuding couple they give a lift to after the couple's minor car wreck. Sauntering along the road to Canterbury, he becomes a whimsical Chaucerian character. What does it all mean? By the end we understand, and so does Victor. His long life has been lived, but not lived wisely, perceptively. He has chased the wrong things, the things he thought were important but weren't, while the things that were he neglected. How can he be forgiven for this? Why should he be? Ingrid, as it happens, becomes his angel, a loving emissary of sorts between heaven and hell. She carries, despite everything, love in her heart for him and for Gunnar, and it is this — this love — that will transform everything around her. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Sjostrom, Victor | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 220 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray | | Genre | drama | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00715515106818 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | CRITERION COLLECTION: WILD STRAWBERRIES | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 32 minutes | | UPC | 715515106818 | ## Product Details - **Genre:** drama - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Language:** English - **Colour:** Colour - **Number of discs:** 1 ## Images ![Criterion Collection: Wild Strawberries [Blu-ray] [1957] [US Import] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8179gRBZqEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bergman's best *by G***A on 2 December 2025* Ingmar Bergman's best film, looking fantastic here on Blu-Ray.
