Wild Strawberries (1957) by Ingmar Bergman
[Swedish (English subtitles), run time: 91 min]
Part of multiple renowned lists of best films ever made, Wild Strawberries (Smultronstället in Swedish) is considered one of the finest works of Bergman. Having won Golden Globe, Berlin's Golden Bear, and nominated for academy, BAFTA etc., the film has keenly inspired filmmakers since 50's, including stalwarts like Satyajit Ray and Woody Allen. Story follows the aged bacteriologist Prof Isak Borg (Victor Sjöström) from Stockholm to Lund. On way to receive his Doctor Jubilaris title, Isak has a confounding inwards journey towards closure and peace, where he'd relive the guilts of his steadfast life of 78 years and assess his indifferent present. An introspective script, its mesmerizing photography and the excellent actors, combine to make this film a quintessential experience for any cinema lover.
Screening will be followed by an interaction session with:
