Wild Strawberries by Philip French
Wild Strawberries (1958) is probably Ingmar Bergman's most personal film and one which explores his relation to the history of Swedish cinema. Philip and Kersti French give a detailed account of Bergman's powerful and intense direction of the film. 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.
'..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
Philip French was film critic of the Observer. His books include The Movie Moguls (1969), Westerns (2005) and The Faber Book of Movie Verse (1993).
