Disillusioned and exhausted after a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight encounters Death on a desolate beach and challenges him to a fateful game of chess.

Much studied, imitated, even parodied, but never outdone, Bergman’s stunning allegory of man’s search for meaning, THE SEVENTH SEAL (Det sjunde inseglet), was one of the benchmark foreign imports of America’s 1950s art-house heyday, pushing cinema’s boundaries and ushering in a new era of moviegoing.

    - New York Times
  • "Bergman's visually striking medieval morality play [was] the work that gained him an international reputation."
    - Village Voice
