On a hunch it wasn't Bergman, I just looked it up on IMDB, and
discovered it to be a 1967 film by Vilgot Sjoman, of Sweden. It's correct
title is 'Jag ar nyfiken- en film i gult' (any Swedish list members to
translate?), and was called 'I am curious yellow' in the USA. It was banned
in Finland and Norway until 1970, and, initially, seized at US customs. It
used a mix of fiction and documentary techniques, was sexually explicit and
politically controversial.
The films you guys watched in your youth.....

[ps The Fall song is indeed called 'I am curious Orange' and is
loosely about William of Orange, and the film is an apparent influence also]
