The Seventh Seal For all its medieval setting, Ingmar Bergman's genius creation asks the quintessential questions facing post-War humanity in the late 20th century

Plot Crusader knight Antonius Blok returns to 14th-century Sweden with his squire, Jöns, seeking a purpose to assuage his religious doubt and finds it in challenging Death to a game of chess so that travelling players Jof and his wife, Mia, can escape from the ravages of the Plague. Verdict Dark but beautiful.
