Product Description

Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal is a haunting meditation on faith, mortality, and the search for meaning. Returning from the Crusades to find his homeland ravaged by the Plague, a weary knight (Max von Sydow) is confronted by the personification of Death and challenges him to a fateful game of chess. As the match unfolds, the knight and his squire journey through a despairing world, encountering a host of lost souls. One of the most influential films in cinema history, The Seventh Seal is a starkly poetic allegory that continues to captivate audiences with its philosophical depth and striking imagery.
