Description
The film that catapulted Ingmar Bergman to the forefront of world cinema is the director's richest, most humane movie. Traveling to receive an honorary degree, professor Isak Borg (masterfully played by the veteran Swedish director Victor Sjostrom) is forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and accept his approaching death. Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, Wild Strawberries captures a startling voyage of self-discovery and renewed belief in mankind.
