When Ingmar Bergman's "Wild Strawberries "was first released abroad in 1958, the director had still to make his reputation and the film did not meet with universal acclaim. The "New York Times "called it "thoroughly mystifying." But since that time it has been acknowledged as one of the truly great films of world cinema.
Philip and Kersti French give a wonderfully detailed account of Bergman's powerful and intense direction of "Wild Strawberries. "Most valuably, they set the film firmly in the context of Swedish life and culture. The authors also trace connections with the plays of August Strindberg, and the paintings of Edvard Munch and Carl Larsson.
Industry Reviews
'...and incredibly enjoyable read...an eye opener...There is a genuine sense of education that can be taken away from reading this cover to cover...this really is a must read as it is informative and easily digestible.' - Filmwerk
