Alexandre C @adjuvante Aug 19, 2026 I could strongly relate to the characters in this film See more Ken K @RT63648969 Apr 27, 2025 One of the greatest films ever made. Groundbreaking in its day. Phenomenal lead performance with a great supporting cast. An odyssey of the soul, of deep reflection, but with a much warmer resolution than other films of his dealing with the same existential questions. Incredibly original in execution. Spare but paradoxically full. Cinematography is extraordinary. Bergan was one of our most gifted filmakers and this ranks with his best.

See more Wayne K @WayneKelso Feb 20, 2025 Released at the beginning of what could easily be considered a golden age in the career of one of cinemas most revered figures, Wild Strawberries is one of Bergman’s most personal films, and as a result, one of his most affecting. It’s a road trip movie that follows the emotional journey of an old curmudgeon that seems at odds with everyone in his life, lamenting on past failures, heartbreaks and wasted opportunities. The film does occasionally suffer from Bergman’s heavy philosophising, where existential debates and longwinded intellectual diatribes take the place of actual conversation, but a lot is done to dissect and analyse our lead’s past and outlook on life, so that each discussion does play into some aspect of his insecurity. When he reaches the end of the line so to speak, you do get the sense that he’s learned a lot from his odyssey, but not in a cheesy or mawkish way, more that he’s accepted that he can’t change his past mistakes but he can come to terms with them, and realise that he doesn’t have to spend what time he has left being defined by them. Not a casual watch by any means, but in the extensive Bergman oeuvre, especially where the nature of the soul is concerned, its probably one of his most accessible.

É um longa que deve ser assistido diversas vezes ao longo da vida, para ter novas percepções, viva ao cinema realista, toda a minha ode a Ingmar Bergman, por essa conspícua obra de arte, que chega a ser quase um quadro impressionista.
