The Virgin Spring Blu-ray Disc

Instruction Manual

Product Overview

This manual provides essential information for the proper use and care of your The Virgin Spring Blu-ray Disc. Directed by Ingmar Bergman, this Academy Award-winning film is presented in high-definition Blu-ray format, offering superior audio and video quality. The disc contains the film, along with potential bonus features, designed for playback on compatible Blu-ray players.

The Virgin Spring is a harrowing tale of faith, revenge, and savagery in medieval Sweden. With austere simplicity, the director tells the story of the rape and murder of the virgin Karin, and her father Tore's ruthless pursuit of vengeance, set in motion after the killers visit the family's farmhouse. Starring frequent Bergman collaborator and screen icon Max von Sydow, the film is both beautiful and cruel in its depiction of a world teetering between paganism and Christianity.
