Ingmar Bergman’s classic “Wild Strawberries” will be the offering at this month’s Maple Corner Community Center film series, on Friday, December 9 at 7:00. Crotchety retired doctor Isak Borg travels from Stockholm to Lund, Sweden, with his pregnant and unhappy daughter-in-law, Marianne in order to receive an honorary degree from his alma mater. Along the way, he is forced to muse on the pleasures and failures of his own life. The BBC called it “one of the truly outstanding works of post-war European cinema. Ingmar Bergman's allegorical road-movie slips between present and past, dream and reality to explore the external and internal worlds of its ageing central character.” The film is in Swedish, with English subtitles. Film showings are presented on the second Friday of each month through April, with an introduction and a post-film discussion led by Rick Winston. Admission is by donation.
