Wild Strawberries
Saw this one a few nights back as well. I guess I get the reputation for brooding, intellectual films from this example par excellence.
It's like a cinematic Melville or Proust - a philosophical novel. It devotes whole passages to contemplating directly the issues that other films might use "stories" merely to stir up. And it's so amazingly dated with the vogue for Freudianism in mid-century intellectual Europe.
