The Virgin Spring

1972, director Wes Craven would make an outright horror film remake with the title The Last House on the Left.

The coffee break was always an important feature of any Bergman’s shoot, a fact that the behind the scenes photos testify to.

The Virgin Spring was Sven Nykvist and Bergman’s second film together.

The skinny brother (Axel Düberg): ’We herd in the forest, sleep on the tussock, drink from the swamp, pull roots from the soil.’

Karin (Birgitta Pettersson) is supposed to ride to the church with Maria candles, but she has been out dancing all night and doesn’t want to get out of bed. Her mother (Birgitta Valberg) finally succeeds in cajoling her out of bed, promising that Karin can wear her finest clothes.
