Wild Strawberries - Criterion Collection Reviews

---

Dickens
This is my first Bergman. (And I did not pay $36 for it. I bought it for 99 cents on eBay, completely new, played fine.) I bought several Bergmans (almost all from eBay, they're very expensive otherwise)when his name kept popping up in connection with Woody Allen, a hero of mine. I liked this movie very much, it was warm and soothing and interesting. I was struck at first with the simplicity of the symbols and the extremely detailed direction (e.g. when the old man starts while leaving the room to move a chess piece, then changes his mind and continues on out of the room). I have 6 of his films left to watch and I'm looking forward to them, particularly the ones with dubbed in English, which most of them are. As for its being similar to a Woody Allen flick, all that comes to mind is "Another Woman." But I'll hold my tongue (fingers), I have 6 more to see. What really does come to mind, and the reason I gave this flick such a mediocre rating, is "A Christmas Carol"! It's better than I ever thought Dickens was, but the Dickens came first. I loved the movie until I realized that.

masterpiece
A naturally humane and sensitive film. A masterpiece that deserves to be called one of Bergman's best movies ever.
Delightful and funny but serious and touching at the same time.
