As far as I am concerned, you saved the best for first. I have seen 9 of Ingmar Bergman's films and I think The Virgin Spring is the best and most powerful. Despite it being a spoiler, it's prudent that you wrote that the daughter gets raped and murdered. I also wanted to add, in consideration of viewers who may not be able to handle it, that it doesn't occur offscreen but is shown in all its brutality. Consequently, this is one of the most difficult movies for me to watch. I have only seen it twice, not including the Criterion DVD commentary. Switching subjects, I didn't notice the negative references to Odin in the film, so thank you for the insight. Overall, this is a superb article.
