Wild Strawberries
(Smultronstället)

This profoundly humane classic propelled filmmaker Ingmar Bergman to the forefront of world cinema. Traveling to receive an honorary degree, an aging professor (played by Victor Sjöström, a legendary filmmaker himself) is forced to face his past, his faults and his inevitable mortality. Through flashbacks and fantasies, the film creates a startling voyage of self-discovery. With Bibi Andersson, Ingrid Thulin, Gunnar Björnstrand, Max von Sydow. In Swedish with English subtitles. Camera: Gunnar Fischer. Writer/Director: Ingmar Bergman. (Sweden 1957) 91 min
