![]() The main character, an older man in his last years, was previously a doctor and is soon to receive an award for his long career. I remember the hearse carriage pulled by black horses, the clocks without hands, the man with no face, and finally the main character walking into a class room. I remember that, midway through the film, there is a dream sequence. So much of the film’s imagery is odd and dreamy - which, in my limited experience with Bergman, seems par for the course. It is an odd experience that at times feels completely incoherent and yet revelatory. Wild Strawberries is a mysterious, dreamy film, that is a wonder to behold and experience. Much of his imagery is illusive, difficult to discern, and secondary to whatever his films are about. There is serious argument to be made, based both on the statement of Bergman himself and also much critical analysis, that his films were largely based on the dreams of the great director. ![]() The films of Ingmar Bergman are, at best, illusive fever dreams. ![]()
