		The Seventh Seal peruses faith and the existence of God, Smiles of a Summer Night exploits relationships and adultery, and The Virgin Spring is no different in emotional impact.
		In fact, it was strictly Karin's duty as she was the only virgin girl on the farm.
		That is far from the truth, as a woman loses her virginity only when she willingly participates in a pre-marital, sexual relationship.

	The Virgin Spring
		While The Virgin Spring is regarded by many cineastes as a serious, thoughtful, intellectual film, made by a notable art-house auteur, Craven's version of roughly the same story has been labelled by some people as a crude copy of a far superior work.
		The Virgin Spring begins with Karin and Ingeri being sent on a journey to church by their mother (Birgitta Valberg) and father (von Sydow), who are very strict Christians.
		The “virgin spring” that magically appears may be a sign that God has acknowledged the father's offer of penance for exacting his revenge on the herdsmen, but the father's murderous act of vengeance and Ingeri's failure to help Karin are sins that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

		Themes: The Virgin Spring could be classified as propaganda in pretty much the say degree as Eisenstein’s Alexander Nevsky, though it is religious rather than political propaganda.
		Yet, The Virgin Spring is structured in such a way as to invite viewers to write off Ingeri, despite her youthfulness, as an evil, lost soul.
		The skill with which the story is delivered is simply too much to miss and I trust that most viewers are thoughtful enough to interpret the message in accordance with their own values and to dismiss what each finds useless or misguided.

		The Virgin Spring is the re-telling of a mediaeval Swedish ballad of a young girl raped and murdered by three herdsmen on her way to church and her father’s savage vengeance killing of them when their identities are by chance revealed to him.
		The effect is that The Virgin Spring’s parallels in theme and setting with The Seventh Seal are reinforced through the similarities in the style of cinematography.
		The miracle in the final scene — the bubbling forth of a spring under the murdered girl’s body — is to be seen as a divine acknowledgement and a redemption of all that has gone before.

		One of Ingmar Bergman's first international hits, "The Virgin Spring" is set in a medieval village, where a young, spoiled girl, Karin (Brigitta Petersson), the daughter of the wealthy land owner Tore (Max von Sydow) wears a special dress, handmade by 15 virgins, for church.
		However, when their crime is discovered, Tore is determined to take revenge on the killers, and a spring begins to flow from the site of the girl's death.
		Following the 1957 "The Seventh Seal" and preceding the 1961 "Through a Glass Darkly," "The Virgin Spring was made (in 1959, but released in the U.S. later) at the peak of Bergman's creativity and international popularity.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Virgin Spring
		Based off a medieval sonnet about the rape and murder of a farming family's only child and her parents' subsequent vengeance-cum-spiritual awakening, Virgin Spring presents a spare, pastoral setting in which a young girl's metaphoric, doomed journey through the forest primeval represents the terror of filial dissolution from the parents' point of view.
		According to Bergman scholars, Virgin Spring itself represents the primary nexus between Bergman's austere but accessibly recherché works of the 1950s and his downright ascetic 1960s cinema.
		Quavering faith is scarcely in question, though—the titular spring gushes from the very spot where the dead girl's head rested as if in divine approval of Sydow's vow.

		Cinematheque: "Winner of the 1960 Oscar for Best Foreign-Language Film, The Virgin Spring is one of the most powerful and important works in the Bergman canon, and the film with which the great Sven Nykvist became the director's regular cinematographer.
		Based on a 13th-century folk ballad, and offering (like Bergman's earlier The Seventh Seal) an immaculate recreation of a barbarous and superstitious medieval milieu, the film stars Max von Sydow as Töre, a wealthy landowner whose beloved virgin daughter is brutally raped and murdered while on a religious pilgrimage.
		The Virgin Spring won the International Critics Prize at Cannes, where it (and Buñuel's The Young One) was announced as "too good to be judged" in the competition for the Palme d'Or.

		In 1972, Wes Craven began his long career as a horror filmmaker with The Last House On The Left, an uncredited adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring.
		Based on an old Swedish ballad, The Virgin Spring is unsettlingly direct in depicting an innocent girl's rape and murder, and her father's subsequent bloody revenge on her killers.
		Later dismissed by Bergman as "an aberration" (although it won him an Oscar), The Virgin Spring drew new audiences and pushed away old fans, like many of Bergman's Swedish champions and supporters in the French New Wave.

	The Virgin Spring
		Set in beautiful 14th century Sweden, it is the sombre, powerful fable of peasant parents whose daughter, a young virgin, is brutally raped and murdered by swineherds after her half sister has invoked a pagan curse.
		Here, the sternness of Christian ritual (burning oneself with hot wax, the necessity of bringing candles to church, etc) is placed in contrast to pagan beliefs stemming from human emotion and nature, ultimately painting a portrait of a problematic existence with no easy resolution, albeit comforted by faith.
		While The Virgin Spring is a solid film, it certainly falls under the shadows of some of Bergman's other works.

		One of the few films in Bergman's canon that he did not write, The Virgin Spring is based on a Swedish ballad and set in medieval times.
		A pious farming family chooses their Blond, virginal and spoiled daughter Karin (Birgitta Pettersson) to cross the woods and deliver candles to the church for a special ceremony.
		The Virgin Spring marked the first time Bergman worked with his legendary cinematographer Sven Nykvist (they would later team up for more than 20 films and television movies); the film has a lovely, deep, natural feel.

		The plan was to meet my friend Craig at the campground on the San Rafael River at the bottom of Buckhorn Draw Thursday evening, then plan a one-night backpack trip somewhere.
		One of the reasons we chose this trip is because there is a "box" near the start of the canyon that keeps the cows out.
		There is a nice spring right at the end; that dark spot is actually a pool of water.

		Instead, he becomes enraged and proceeds to brutally murder not only the two men but also the boy who accompanied them as well in one of the most intense scenes ever committed to celluloid.
		The Virgin Spring is an intense and disturbing movie that has all of the impact of Craven’s remake with a lot less of the sleaze.
		Beautifully shot in stark fl and white and with some stand performances, particularly from Von Sydow who is quite intimidating in the final moments of the film, and Birgitta Pettersson as the beautiful but naïve Karin, who ultimately pays the final price for being far too trusting of strangers.

		The daughter of a devoutly Christian farmer, she's lured from the path by vagrant goat-herders to be raped and murdered.
		When the Tores find their daughter's body, a freshwater spring bursts from the ground where she died, indicating God's accord with Tore's therapeutic proposal to build a church on the spot.
		What is most surprising about The Virgin Spring (and, perhaps, the source of the director's reported dissatisfaction with it, years after) is that it's an art film completely lacking in narrative ambiguity.

		DVD Beaver's sensibilities are offended, but for the rest of us plebes who don't own expensive television sets or DVD players to help combat overscan, Criterion's full frame transfer of The Virgin Spring lends a helping hand.
		The entire 1.33:1 frame has been presented in a completely pillarboxed form, meaning there are fl bars on all sides.

		In 14th century Sweden, a beautiful virgin daughter sets out to bring candles to the church only to be brutally raped and murdered by three goat-herders in the woods after her jealous half-sister partakes in an evil pagan spell.
		Birgitta Petterson is charming as the virginal victim but I find true precision in the acting of the dark-haired sister Ingeri (Gunnel Lindblom), who portrayed the burdensome guilt of sin very, very emphatically in just one single scene.
		It is said that the matter was finally put to rest when on his 80th birthday, the Japanese virtuoso himself congratulated Bergman for his work in The Virgin Spring and said that he enjoyed it very much.
