The Seventh Seal

CriticsCritics: 91
AudienceAudience: 8.2

A disillusioned knight returns to plague-stricken Sweden after the Crusades and challenges Death to a chess match for more time. As he travels through a fearful medieval landscape with his squire and a family of performers, he wrestles with faith, mortality, and the possibility of finding meaning.

My take

You may like this if you enjoy dark, thought-provoking classics such as Wild Strawberries, but Not for you if you want fast pacing, straightforward answers, or a light, relaxing watch.
