Returning exhausted from the Crusades to find medievaI Sweden gripped by the PIague, a knight (Max von Sydow) suddenly comes face-to-face with the hooded figure of Death, and chaIIenges him to a game of chess. As the fateful game progresses, and the knight and his squire encounter a gaIIery of outcasts from a society in despair, Ingmar Bergman mounts a profound inquiry into the nature of faith and the torment of mortality. One of the most influentiaI films of its time, The Seventh SeaI is a stunning allegory of man’s search for meaning and a work of stark visual poetry.
