In 14th century Sweden, two goat herders assault a peasant girl. Later, the assailants seek food and shelter at the home of their victim’s parents. Bergman won his first Oscar for this metaphysical film that, through its imagery and Sven Nykvist’s luminous cinematography, undercuts the potentially sensationalistic material.
