smultronstället (wild strawberries)

Last night I watched, for the second time, this Ingmar Bergman film. And I realized how much I love subtle and intelligent storytelling.

The movie explores the disillusionment of an aging physician, Isak Borg, as he reflects on his life. Borg reminded me of judge-penitent Clamence in Albert Camus’ The Fall, as they both tell their life story - their quest for meaning; the process of their life crisis - and make you think about the coices you make in life that could render a life devoid of meaning.
