Maybe I'm just reading too much into a pillow so also happy to hear people's other thoughts about Wild Strawberries, it was firmly my favourite Bergman so far (over 'Persona' and 'The Seventh Seal'.) Few films can successfully tackle ageing or death or regret or loss, even fewer can handle all of these themes and more in less than 90 minutes. I can't find any mention of this anywhere online (in a quick 15 min google search) but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it? It seems to lend itself to an 'it was all a dream' interpretation which feels like a cop-out and definitely isn't what I took away from the film. But while rewatching the scene I noticed that the pillow he wakes up on isn't the same one he goes to sleep on, in fact, it looks like the one he woke up on in his own house at the start of the film. The film ends with the professor going to sleep at his son's house and waking up, finally at peace.

They give a ride to several people along the way including a girl - also named Sara - and her two friends along with a married couple who almost ran them off the road.
