"Personal and profound" VARIETY "Flawless ... this is acting on the grand scale" THE TIMES Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film 1960 Winner of the Grand Prix Award for Best Film at the 1958 Berlin Film Festival, Ingmar Bergman´s classic Wild Strawberries concerns an elderly academic, introverted and emotionally arid, who makes a journey to collect a university award and en route relives his past through nightmares, dreams and memories as space and time are broken apart to reveal various levels of his inner life. Professor Isak Borg (Victor Sjostrom) travels with his daughter-in-law Marianne (Ingrid Thulin) to receive an honorary doctorate for his lifelong contribution to medicine. His journey is interrupted by meetings with people on the road; from Sara (Bibi Andersson), an irressible girl hitcher reminds Isak of the girl he lost through his selfishness, to a quarrelling married couple who remind him of his own tragic marriage, and the journey becomes an exploration and insight into his own failings. Victor Sjostrom, a celebrated film director in his own right, best known for his silent work including the Hollywood masterpiece The Wind, gives a remarkably moving performance as the aged academic. Bergman´s smiles and tears on a summer´s day make for his most overtly symbolic work shifting skillfully between past and present, dream and reality. Filled with richly observed characters and a real feeling for the joys of nature and youth, Wild Strawberries is one of Bergman´s warmest and finest films. 5 STARS OUT OF 5 Wild Strawberries Ingmar Bergman Buy UK Dvd (This Site) (Shipped from UK) Single Disc [2003] Director: Ingmar Bergman Actors: Victor Sjöström, Bibi Andersson, Ingrid Thulin, Gunnar Björnstrand, Jullan Kindahl Format: Black & White, Full Screen, PAL Language: Swedish Region: All Regions Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 Number of discs: 1 Classification: 15 Studio: Tartan Video DVD Release Date: 25 Feb 2002 Run Time: 87 minutes DVD Features: Main Language: Swedish Available Audio Tracks: Dolby Digital Sub Titles: English Disc Format: DVD 5 Star And Director Filmographies Scene Selection Geoff Andrew Film Notes Extract From Bergmans Book Images My Life In Film The Bergman Collection Trailer Price: £17.99 (UK Sterling) / $ 37.99 (US Dollars) (Shipped from UK) (Price includes worldwide postage & packaging) Also available: amazon.co.uk Movie Review Ingmar Bergman ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth ingmar bergman dvds ingmar bergman videos ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth Page created by: lenin@netcomuk.co.uk Changes last made: 2007
