Spiwak is right. It's hard to find a bad Bergman film. Bergman despised his own film The Virgin Spring, but it's actually pretty good. His reason for disliking it is simple...he believes he ripped off Akira Kurosawa's style for the movie, and further believes he did a poor job of it. But most people LIKE The Virgin Spring.

The only film of Bergman's that I truly think was just absolutely weak was The Serpent's Egg. His others, even the minor works, always have something worthwhile in them. And his masterpieces, of which there are many, well...it would take 100 posts to describe their brilliance.
