The Seventh Seal (1957)

£0.00


Country: SV
Technical: bw 95m
Director: Ingmar Bergman
Cast: Max Von Sydow, Bengt Ekerot, Gunnar Bjornstrand

Synopsis:

A knight and his squire return from the Crusades to find a land riven with fear and pestilence, in which Death is triumphant.

Review:

A classic of world cinema and typical of its director in juxtaposing a lust for life with a mistrust of divinity and bleakness of subject matter. Hence the survival of the Joseph and Mary figures - entertainers, no less - in a film whose squire articulates: 'We make an idol out of fear, and call it God', and: 'Enjoy the triumph of life to the last.'
