For all of its merit as a film contemplating the self-realization of forgiveness, the protagonist’s essence and the concept of choice & responsibility, “Wild Strawberries” (1957) is also an extremely literal film by having the protagonist literally drive into his own self awareness.

There was an attempt to remake “Wild Strawberries” (1957)🇸🇪 in The USA. In the 90s. Starring 70something yr old Gregory Peck. It was never greenlit.

Ingmar Bergman, Bibi Andersson, Gunnar Fischer, and Victor Sjöström during the making of “Wild Strawberries” (1957)🇸🇪. Making the film was complicated due to Sjöström’s age but still, he’s is in all but one scene of the film.

Idk what kind of car he’s driving or if it’s actually a real car that exists but it’s certainly room-y

A few of the driving scenes had to be done using back-projection due to the fact that Victor Sjöström was early 80 & in ill health

I’ve never seen streets that empty without a natural disaster involved.. but I suppose post-WWII era semi-rural Sweden isn’t that populous

Around a week away and the wild strawberries dried up. Didn't give up, started to water them, and they came back. Now it was time to cut the dried leaves. These are in a vase (if you have a balcony or windowsill, you can grow your own), and the strawberries were delicious (as usually are).
