Review of The Virgin Spring (1960) by Tim S — 29 Dec 2009
It has been a long time coming, but I am glad that I am going through my Bergman phase at this age. This is another one of his gems that had me from the first frame and kept me going until the last. I loved the story (even though it has been hacked by some horrible remakes here lately) and thought it was well acted by the entire cast.
Of course, when you have Sven behind the camera, you are going to have a gorgeous film and this film just keeps that legacy in tact. Max Von Sydow is the premiere badass and it's amazing how shocking the rape scene is even today.
Great film.
