Ingmar Bergman's profound adaptation of a local legend unfolds like a spiritual fable on crime and punishment. It's based on a Nordic medieval legend about the murder of a virgin and the revenge by her father. Bergman's first collaboration with his legendary cinematographer Sven Nykvist brilliantly use of the camera to capture a timeless tale of faith and revenge. The symbolic use of nature is evident in every frame of the film where you see the divine/religious/future in the light and evil/pagan/past in the dark. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
