What The Seventh Seal Is About
Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film follows a knight returning from a crusade. When Death comes for him he proposes a game of chess. The game buys him time. In the middle of a plague the film asks the question of faith directly; the narrative refuses to answer and shows ordinary people along the road. It was shot in black and white. Max von Sydow leads. The chess scene is among the most referenced images in the history of cinema. Who it's for: those who like classic European cinema. Who it's not for: viewers expecting incident; the film leaves its questions unanswered.
