Ingmar Bergman “Jungfrukällan“ (The Virgin Spring)

Winner of the 1961 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, “The Virgin Spring“ - based on the 13th century Swedish ballad called “Töres dotter i Wänge“ - is the first film from Ingmar Bergman’s very critically successful output from the 1960’s. In this scene the girls - Karin (played by Birgitta Pettersson) and Ingeri (played by Gunnel Lindblom) - are on there journey to bring candles to the church. Karin beautifully sings a very lovely melody. I do not own this video. No copyright intended!
