The Virgin Spring (Swedish: Jungfrukällan) is a 1960 Swedish film directed by Ingmar Bergman. Set in medieval Sweden, it is a tale about a father's merciless response to the rape and murder of his young daughter. The story was adapted by screenwriter Ulla Isaksson from a 13th-century Swedish ballad, "Töres döttrar i Wänge" ("Töre's daughters in Vänge"). Bergman researched the legend of Per Töre with an eye to an adaptation, considering an opera before deciding on a film version. Given criticism of the historical accuracy of his 1957 film The Seventh Seal, he also invited Isaksson to write the screenplay. Other influences included the 1950 Japanese film Rashomon. Max von Sydow played Töre.

I think sometimes he just ripped shit straight out of the Kalevala and hoped no one would notice.

IIRC young Tolkien wanted to make “a mythology for the English” and reasoned that that mythology would have to have similarities to the other Northern European ones, so it made sense to take some pre-existing mythological stories etc. and make them his own.

Then later he scrapped that idea but just kept the stories because YOLO FINDERS KEEPERS and besides, Kullervo’s story especially is so hilarious, why would anyone not write their own version? If I ever write my own books I know I’ll include a version of Töres döttrar in Wänge for the lulz.
