Highlights:
- Ingmar Bergman's making style.An absolutely haunting treatment has been employed for a not-so-unusual story and that makes this film unique in many respects.
- The fiery performance of the father and his practical & sensible monologue with God at the end.
- The behaviour of the servant maid & the explanations she gives for her act.
- The touching final scene where a spring gets sourced near the virgin girl's corpse.
