This is a wonderful look by film professor and author Mark Le Fanu into the ageless process of aging through the Ingmar Bergman film “Wild Strawberries.” “Wild Strawberries” is one of the films that is a part of the Criterion Films Collection.

Thanks – great article – best part for me is just to know that there are people who think about film that way – not too high flown – if that is the phrase, and not too simplistic either. That’s the second Bergman reference you’ve shared… I’m a synthesizer – I don’t work life out in art – though what an ability if you had it! But I do get that elation from art. Thanks again for sharing. I’ll know what to look for at the library film dept.! Date: Fri, 5 Jul 2013 17:18:36 +0000 To: tim_gilbreath@live.com
I saw this in college while taking a Bergman class and it didnt register all that much. This time it was much more impressive. Guess I am more aware of aging issues now. Can’t imagine why?
