"The Virgin Spring"
1960
Directed by Ingmar Bergman
A man's faith is tested as he seeks revenge against
the men who brutally raped and murdered his daughter. Set in 14th Century Sweden,
this fairy-tale like story is based on a Swedish legend. The sets and costumes are
excellent, reflecting Bergman's famous attention to detail. Classic Bergman.

Globe for Best Foreign Language Film (tied with La Verite, 1960). The film
also received an Oscar nomination for Best Costume Design, Black-and-White (1961).

Virgin Spring (1960).
