A day in the life of Professor Isaac vs his life

The film uses the day of Professor Isaac to take care of his life, he recalls the past, he reflects on himself. "Dream" is the most important carrier of the film. Isaac knows himself with the help of "dream", and we know about Isaac with the help of "dream". This kind of narrative style that fixes time and space is very similar to Roman Polanski. "Wild Strawberry" tells a story that happens in a fixed day, while Roman Polanski's masterpieces "Killing" and "Venus in Furs" tell stories that are fixed in a certain day. A story that takes place in a space. "Wild Strawberry" has another point of interpretation. The senior intellectual looks back on his life on the day when he is about to receive the highest honor in his life, quoting a passage that his first love Sarah once said to his best friend: "Isak is so good, Moral and sensitive. He wants us to read poetry, discuss the afterlife, play the piano for four, he only wants to kiss in the dark. He talks about the original sin of man, he is in such a high spiritual state. I feel like I don't Worth, I have no value, there is no doubt about that." A similar female sentiment appeared in the Turkish film "Hibernation," which recently won the Palme d'Or at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, and its male protagonist is also set in a retired intellectual Molecularly, the wife of the male protagonist has revealed similar sentiments. In the actual effect of human-to-human communication, only 30% of the logical content plays a role, and the remaining 60% or more is emotional.
