The Virgin Spring
(Jungfrukallan)
Sweden - 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. In one particularly powerful scene, the father of the victim (Max von Sydow), venting his rage, pits himself against a living birch tree, eventually bringing it down. Classic Bergman.
The Virgin Spring won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film (1961) and the Golden 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). Ingmar Bergman won Special Mention at the Cannes Film Festival for directing The Virgin Spring (1960).
