Additional InformationAntonius Block (Max Von Sydow), a knight, returns from a 10-year crusade with his squire, Jons (Gunnar Bjornstrand), to find his homeland ravaged by the plague. When the black-cloaked figure of Death (Bengt Ekerot) appears to claim them, Block, whose war experiences have left him cynical about the existence of God and the afterlife, challenges Death to a game of chess to stall for time and gain some insight into the meaning of life before passing on. The game is intermittently paused and resumed during the journey home while Block and Jons meet several traveling companions, including a mute girl (Gunnel Lindblom) whom they save from a bandit, and a family of poor traveling players--Jof, a gentle visionary (Nils Poppe); his wife, Mia (Bibi Andersson); and their infant daughter. Block witnesses much suffering and anguish along the way (an encounter with a woman accused of witchcraft who is about to be burned at the stake is especially jarring) but also finds evidence of human kindness and love, prompting him to realize that even a single gesture of goodwill might make the long struggle of his existence worthwhile. The title of Ingmar Bergman's highly acclaimed allegorical film stems from the Book of Revelation.

The Seventh Seal - amazing film
Brilliant film. Seen when it first came out and I was very young. Recently saw a documentary about Ingmar Bergman's amazing year 1957 when he made this film and Wild Strawberries and loads of other things. He was a flawed human but a fantastic director.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A little crowded, I prefer the classic image of the Knight and Death playing Chess.
This is classic Bergman. The atmosphere is tangible, engaging and full of pathos. The central performances are stunning. I never tire of this film, it is a window on the medieval world with all its cruelty, superstition and struggle, and is a poignant reminder of the futility of conflict.Much copied, a very influential film..Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
