The Virgin Spring
1960, 85 minutes, Rated M
Hopscotch Entertainment proudly presents the Ingmar Bergman Collection, a collectible series from one of the true auteurs of cinema. Bergman single-handedly put his Swedish homeland on the cinematic map, his sombre appraisals at familial strife and spiritual angst earning him his deserved status as one of cinema's most important directors.
A dark, beautiful tale of revenge, religion, redemption and forgiveness.
When a devout young girl is raped and killed by herders, her deeply religious parents find their most sacred beliefs challenged. Her father is consumed by a thirst for Justice and a violent need for vengeance. The Virgin Spring exposes a society on the cusp between mysticism and Christianity and explores the power of reconciliation.
Derived from a medieval legend, The Virgin Spring was director Ingmar Bergman's first film to win an Academy Award (for Best Foreign Language Film) and sees a return to simpler themes for Bergman after the complexities of The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries.
