Returning exhausted from the Crusades to find medievaI Sweden gripped by the PIague, a knight (Max von Sydow) suddenly comes face-to-face with the hooded figure of Death, and challenges him to a game of chess. As the fatefuI game progresses, and the knight and his squire encounter a gallery of outcasts from a society in despair, lngmar Bergman mounts a profound inquiry into the nature of faith and the torment of mortaIity. One of the most infIuential fiIms of its time, The Seventh Seal is a stunning aIIegory of man’s search for meaning and a work of stark visuaI poetry.
