Winner of the 1960 Oscar for Best Foreign Film, The Virgin Spring is one of the most powerful and important works in the Bergman canon, and stands as a natural companion piece to The Seventh Seal for its immaculate recreation of a barbarous and superstitious medieval milieu. Based on a 13th-century folk ballad, 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. A twist of fate finds the three killers seeking shelter at Töre's farm; when he discovers their responsibility for his daughter's death, he exacts a vengeance of Biblical proportions.
