Review of The Virgin Spring (1960) by Zachary S — 22 Nov 2008
A very emotional film about revenge and faith to god, this will remain as one of the most powerful films ever made. It did not even contain any musical scores, but instead relied on the silence of the surroundings to create tension and feel of discomfort to the viewers.
Max Von Sydow's performance as a multi-layered character forced to exact a disturbing revenge on those who raped and killed his daughter was magnificent in all of its subtle glory. The atmosphere and striking images of the film was also unforgettable, especially the "tree secene".
An important film about the futility of revenge and the undying faith to god.
