Titles like The Naked Night, Smiles of a Summer Night, The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, The Virgin Spring, Through a Glass Darkly, The Silence, Persona, Cries and Whispers, Autumn Sonata, Fanny and Alexander and After the Rehearsal, which once constituted a summa-cum-laude cinematic honor roll, have since tumbled into Trivial Pursuit territory...
