The Seventh Seal

The Seventh Seal (1957)
Ingmar Bergman
Swedish
Criterion 11

An knight, exhausted and on his return from the Crusades, encounters death and challenges him to a game of chess.

James - A good film, with bits of comedy and art weaving through the dark story. I will definitely need to see this again to fully understand all of the minutiae. But I think I'll enjoy that. B+

Britney - I watched this film reluctantly, and finished it... reluctantly. There was never a point where I was compelled or inspired, though I found the Swedish language beautiful. A tale of religious questioning, the plague, and hovering, imminent death does not interest me, but it was thought provoking and had strong dialogue. D+
