The Virgin Spring (1960)

This week, OscarWatch would like to remind you that when traveling in the woods, it’s dangerous to go alone! Be sure to take us along to guide you as we examine the religious morality play, Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring. Steve confesses that becoming a dad has really made these kind of things extremely difficult to watch, and even the nearly 60 years since the film was released has not dulled its vicious impact on the audience. Questions of faith, of righteousness and dirty, violent revenge abound throughout the conversation. Join us in dissecting this highly influential piece of Swedish cinema. So, head on down the road and find us at the last house on the left. We'll be there. Thanks for listening. Be sure to subscribe on iTunes, and leave a review.
