I saw Virgin Spring many years ago, and I am sorry to say that I laughed all the way through it. I was studying Icelandic at the time (I was a grad student), and the film is so full of saga cliches that I was literally muttering the dialogue before the actors did. It was rather like going to an old time western and saying, "Meanwhile back at the ranch" and "They went thattaway" just before the actors did. And, yes, the cliches in the Virgin Spring were on that level. Obviously my reaction was dependent on the fact that I had just spent the year reading sagas. Maybe I should see the film again....
