One of those Sam Peckinpah scholars--I can't recall who--comes to mind of the kind of critic I dislike.
There are these same three guys (plus the late Nick Redman who moderates) on all of the Peckinpah commentary tracks (even The Westerner TV show) who, along with some good info, spend a lot of time trashing everything that offends their delicate sensibilities. They seem to be embarrassed to even be having to comment on Peckinpah's flawed, but intriguing Convoy.

I ' love's their commentary.on WESTERNER, esp. hearing them
all guffaw at the lame comedy eps.

Shame (1968) 7/10 (up from 5 or 6; can't recall)
Oh, I'd give Shame a 9 or 10. This is one of Bergman's undisputed masterpieces, imo. And the last of the classic period b&w run extending back to the early 1950s.

Two years ago when I first watched these, it was on an iPad; not exactly ideal viewing. Now that I'm watching on a proper tv, I have the feeling that most of my rewatches will find the rating go up. I watched Wild Strawberries again, and it's up from an 8/10 to 10/10.
Oh indeed. The bigger the image, the better for all films. If I had the money, I would build myself an immense screening room and purchase film prints of all of my favorite movies.

You get to see Max Von Sydow's bare ass in The Virgin Spring!

Perhaps the most "iconic" nude scene in a Bergman film is Harriet Andersson in Summer with Monika.
I also (fondly) recall Ingrid Thulin baring some flesh in Hour of the Wolf.
There may have been some nudity in The Silence as well. Oh, Liv Ullmann has a scene in Shame (no relation to the crap Western of ten years before that).
I'll do my heroic best to recall any other nude scenes from Bergman films.
Let's face it: the appeal of foreign films in.that era at least partly, relied on the chance that a nekkid bum or boob might be spotted.
