The Virgin Spring (Swedish: Jungfrukällan)

Synopsis

"Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring is a harrowing tale of faith, revenge, and savagery in medieval Sweden. Starring frequent Bergman collaborator and screen icon Max von Sydow, the film is beautiful and cruel in its depiction of a world teetering between paganism and Christianity, and of one father's need to avenge the death of a child."
