The Culver Cinema Club presents Ingmar Bergman’s poignant “Wild Strawberries”(91 minutes) at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow, Oct. 19, in Roberts Auditorium of the science and math building. Bergman died this past summer.  This showing is an homage to the Swedish director, who, besides providing the world with a wonderful insight into artists (“If I don’t create, I don’t exist”), received in 1971 a lifetime achievement award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for his work in film. Please arrive on time and stay throughout the entire showing. Read on for more information.
“Wild Strawberries” (Sweden, 1957) is a black and white film that is a lyrical reflection on guilt and disappointment in the form of a spiritual journey. It is the finely crafted and innovatively filmed story of an elderly professor's transformation. During a day trip to a town where the academic is to be awarded an honorary degree, long-forgotten memories are triggered by specific locales and encounters with the passengers he picks up along the way. Forced to reassess his past behavior, the professor begins to realize that some of the disappointments and botched relationships in his life may be a result of his own emotional shortcomings. This meditative film on loss and self-discovery--written and directed by Bergman--is universally acclaimed as one of the director’s greatest achievements because of its warmth and affirmation of life.  (Blurb from www.amazon.com or www.deepdiscountdvd.com )
