All virgins shall be laid, drink from the virgin spring - so say it John 1512 :D

Just, made realize how great Bergman is and how I love everything and want to be a part of film, and am thankful I will be. The story, cinematography, the acting, subtle emotions.

Zadnja trećina ovog filma je fenomenalna.

Such a beautiful film. While the shots weren't fancy, they were constantly great: the lighting was marvellous, the composition spot on, the contrast exquisite. I can't think of anything wrong with this film

Not bergman's best film but still a beautiful tragedy !

I'd say it's more of a "tragic medieval ballad" than an "awful Christian propaganda."

An awful Christian propaganda, a shame!

straightforward film without fancy shots or shot editing, still conveys psychological realism and serenely beautiful imagery. Questions and accepts God at the same time as a survival mechanism in their quest to understand cruelty in the world. Reveals guilt and the crossroads of Norse paganism and early Christianity... especially with Max Von Sydow's character.

The Virgin Spring remains one of Bergman's best and most accessible films because it avoids getting bogged down in a lot of his usual angsty pretensions. Instead the viewer is told a simple, haunting tale which plays out like a ballad. I cannot discredit the power of the images enough. The cinematography is nothing short of stunning, the lighting and the staging all perfect. Such an emotional and powerful film.

An astoundingly moving film from the master of imagery. Bergman displays his genius through, again, the use of silence. Ms. Pettersson enraptures you immediately. At a mere 88 minutes, Bergman shows us the true way to tell a story on film.

Incredibly powerful film from Bergman... my favorite of his thus far. I am rarely emotionally affected to this extent by a film. Wonderful performances, especially from Pettersson.

Probably the best film ever made.

// I do applaud <i>The Virgin Spring,</i> w/ mise en scène primal and stark, whose ballad told does vengeance sing through fists of feudal patriarch //

Schlockmeister Bergman's remake of the classic Wes Craven movie " Last House on the Left".

Horrifying. One of the most affecting movies I've ever witnessed.

amazing - still packs a punch and says a lot about the nature of vengeance. A true classic in the Shakespearean sense.

Possibly Bergman's greatest cinematic endeavour. The Virgin Spring should be seen by more people.

"The Virgin Spring" is both an intellectually rich and visually brilliant film. Ingmar Bergman once again focuses his direction upon the unfortunate inevitability of Idealism and Innocence being sullied by the realities of the world. And here Bergman presents an interesting resulting approach to a world that has been corrupted; one of Stoic acceptance and Optimistic hopefulness in an eventual purification.
