The Virgin Spring / Jungfrukällan (1960)
Only my second Bergman film (after The Seventh Seal) but after watching this I really need to look into more of his work.
Stunning film, absolutely floored me. I was drawn into the film right from the opening frame and couldn't drag myself away from it...the characters were wonderfully portrayed, the cinematography was beautiful...a near perfect film that raises far more moral questions than it is able to answer, and leaves you thinking about God, life, death, forgiveness and revenge long after the final moments.
