I saw that film [The Virgin Spring] in film school. It was, of course, a great film. It was the simplicity of the story and the very simple and direct emotion that was felt from that film. I thought it was very primal. And it occurred to me that that was a very accessible, direct story, and that it would be interesting to do a contemporary version of it. So I just updated it with the music and the setting and the clothing, and made the dialogue more like it was being spoken then, but basically the story is the same.
