Bergman’s classic film is a stunning allegory of man’s search for meaning in life. A knight, returning home from the Crusades, plays a game of chess with Death while the plague ravages medieval Europe. An exceptionally powerful film, The Seventh Seal is a work of awesome scope, which remains a textbook to the craft of filmmaking.
