Wild Strawberries


Wild Strawberries (1957)
IMDB #152 [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050986/]

The Gist:
An old man has reached the end of his life, more or less, and reflects on the nostalgia of his childhood while at the same time struggling with his identity, whether he is or was a good person, and so on. The film brings out beautiful and intricate conflicts and resolutions, is full of underlying metaphor, has splashes of surrealism. However, its greatest asset is in its modesty, in its great care of its characters. Absolutely amazing film.
