The Virgin Spring

Paris: L'Express, Circa 1960. Eight vintage borderless reference photographs from the 1960 Swedish film, including multiple images of cast and crew on the set. Italian and French distribution stamps on the versos.

The first of two Bergman efforts to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, and nominated for the Palme d'Or, with Bergman receiving a Special Mention at Cannes.

Set in medieval Sweden.
