I didn't really understand what was going on, but I could see how people could groove on this.  Bergman wrote and directed.

Apparently this also turns into a horror film after I tuned out, but it seemed to be about a priest who goes on an archaeology dig and an actress who questions her character's motivation.  (Burstyn presumably was more cooperative than her character.)  I didn't even see Linda Blair in the first quarter hour.  William Friedkin directed, three years after The Boys in the Band.  William Peter Blatty adapted his own novel.
