Product Description
Few films have had as large a cultural impact as Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet). Disillusioned and exhausted after a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight (Max von Sydow) 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 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.

    The Seventh Seal,

    By John Nikolaou “Trayiko” (Chicago, IL) -

      

    If you are a fan of films this is a must!! But then again you wouldn’t be checking it out if you weren’t. It had my friends and I talking for days! A game of Chess with Death, could there be a better story? Check out other films from the Criterion Collection, they are usually not on sale for long and quickly become hot items as well as great films for enjoyment!!
