“Some months after the opening of the film, Bergman met a childhood friend, who told him that while he was watching Wild Strawberries he ‘began to think of Aunt Berta, who was sitting all alone in Borlänge. I couldn’t get her out of my thoughts, and when my wife and I came home, I said let’s invite Aunt Berta over at Easter.’

That, says Bergman, is the best review he has ever had.”
