The Seventh Seal (1957)
Written and directed
by Ingmar Bergman this film stars Max von Sydow, Bengt Ekerot, Gunnar
Bjornstrand and Bibi Andersson. A knight and his squire return home
from The Crusades to a land in the grip of plague.
This film does a great
job of exploring the ideas of faith when faced with a silent god and
disaster about the world. There are some iconic scenes and the film
does a great job of mixing medieval art and film to create a world
that might not be exactly 100% historically accurate but is a good
approximation of what we expect. Despite having a fairly low budget
the film does a good job of creating several medieval locations and
is well made in general.
5/5
