Our take

The universe of dreams is often portrayed in films, but nightmares have rarely looked so distinctively unsettling. The opening of Wild Strawberries sets the rules of this game: what ensues is a haunting depiction of a man’s battle against the ghosts of time. A psychological road movie, à la Bergman!
