For our April Foreign Affairs screening, the Hollywood Theatre is proud to present THE VIRGIN SPRING, in tribute to the late Max von Sydow (1929-2020). This screening is free for Hollywood Theatre members.
THE VIRGIN SPRING (1960) Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Ingmar Bergman’s THE VIRGIN SPRING is a harrowing tale of faith, revenge, and savagery in medieval Sweden. 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, and of one father’s need to avenge the death of a child.
