Summary/Abstract: This article, written in a form of an essay, reviews the theoretical work of the Latvian philosopher Pēteris Laķis, in particular the essay devoted to the understanding of time; it also analyses the parallels with the creative work of the Swedish cinema and theatre director Ingmar Bergman. Ingmar Bergman’s films thatwere shown in the Soviet Union, especially his film“Wild Strawberries” (1957) had an immense effect upon thinking of the new generation by expanding perceptions about the borders of both reality and art.
