WILD STRAWBERRIES Smultronstället
An
aging professor’s day trip to accept an award becomes an unforgettable
journey of self-discovery that seamlessly blends dreams, memories, and
revelations.
Traveling to accept an honorary degree,
Professor Isak Borg—masterfully played by director Victor Sjöström—is
forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and make peace
with the inevitability of his approaching death. 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 Bergman’s most widely acclaimed and influential films. (Sweden, 1957, 92 min., NR, Swedish with English subtitles| Dir. Ingmar Bergman)
Ingmar Bergman (1918–2007) stands as one
of the giants of world cinema and perhaps the father of the flowering
of art house movement in America during the 1960s and ’70s. This
selection of some of his greatest works feature new digital restorations
