  The Seventh Seal (1958)

description written by member Andy:

This is probably the most famous movie from Ingmar Bergman. Our story is one of simply, death. The main story focuses on a Christian knight from the Crusades facing death. Not death as in the end of life exactly, but as in the angel of death. While strolling along a beach surveying his fallen fellow soldiers he meets death, but he is well aware that his time is up as well. Trying to avoid his ultimate fate, he challenges death to a chess match. The stakes are simple. The solider will remain alive as long as he can continue to win, but if he loses he must concede that he is dead. Yet, the solider's motives are not that of wanting to live, but rather to understand the point of all the madness he's seen.

The Seventh Seal Movie Review by Jessica Film Junkie (3/12/2007)

There is just nothing like Ingmar Bergman. Few come close, even fewer can do it better (perhaps Kurasawa? Fellini?)

This story follows a group of people fleeing the Black Plague during the Crusades. One man challenges Death to a game of Chess, the stakes being his life. As the characters interact and spend these few...
