Stunning Bergman Masterpiece — Maybe His Best?
“Wild Strawberries” profoundly moved me. The theme — an old man coming up fast on death and wondering if his life has had any meaning — is an old one for Bergman, and one which he explored ad nauseum throughout the subsequent decades. But here Bergman approaches the question with an uncharacteristic optimism and sense of hope. For once, he seems to come close to finding some peace with the unknowns of life that obviously preoccupied him as an artist, and the movie he gives us is sad but immensely warm; resigned but calm and reflective.

An unequivocal masterpiece, and only one of a handful of Bergman films (“Persona” and “Cries and Whispers” being two others) that don’t drive me over the edge when I watch them now.
