Seventh Seal [Special Edition] DVD Summary
Endlessly imitated and parodied,
Ingmar Bergman
's landmark art movie
The Seventh Seal
(
Det Sjunde Inseglet
) retains its ability to hold an audience spellbound.
Bergman
regular
Max von Sydow
stars as a 14th century knight named
Antonius Block
, wearily heading home after ten years' worth of combat.
Disillusioned by unending war, plague, and misery
Block
has concluded that
God
does not exist.
As he trudges across the wilderness,
Block
is visited by
Death
(
Bengt Ekerot
), garbed in the traditional black robe.
Unwilling to give up the ghost,
Block
challenges
Death
to a game of chess.
If he wins, he lives -- if not, he'll allow
Death
to claim him.
As they play, the knight and the Grim Reaper get into a spirited discussion over whether or not
God
exists.
To recount all that happens next would diminish the impact of the film itself; we can observe that
The Seventh Seal
ends with one of the most indelible of all of
Bergman
's cinematic images: the near-silhouette "Dance of Death.
" Considered by some as the apotheosis of all
Ingmar Bergman
films (other likely candidates for that honor include
Wild Strawberries
and
Persona
), and certainly one of the most influential European art movies,
The Seventh Seal
won a multitude of awards, including the Special Jury Prize at the
1957 Cannes Film Festival
.
