Artifacts aren’t a real issue, though I noticed some shimmering in the pattern of Isak’s jacket, but this is thankfully an infrequent problem and otherwise the transfer is a sharp upgrade in every area over Criterion’s older transfer. The print delivers very little damage, and does appear cleaner than the Criterion DVD’s source. The opening still has the obvious boost in contrast, but this is intentional. Contrast looks a bit better throughout and gray levels are distinct. It’s certainly a far sharper image, delivering the finer details in old Isak’s face and in his jacket, and the film’s grain structure is more apparent, though never intrusive. The DVD delivered a fine presentation and it’s nothing to put down, but this new transfer, struck from the 35mm negative, offers some rather obvious improvements. ![]() Ingmar Bergman’s Wild Strawberries comes to Criterion Blu-ray, sporting a new high-definition transfer that presents the film in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on a dual-layer disc. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She doesn’t feel like herself and is doubting all she has ever known.
