The Seventh Seal translated from the Swedish by Lars Malmstorm and David Kushner:

The Seventh Seal is an allegorical study set in plague-ridden medieval Sweden. A knight is travelling
with his squire back to his castle and on the way he  meets, among others, the figure of Death. He challenges Death to a game of chess in order to delay the inevitable end.
Max von Sydow gives a memorable performance as the doubt -ridden knight and Gunmar Bjornstrand has exactly the right amount of cynicism as the good-natured squire.


One of the most remarkable things about Wild Strawberries is that it was praised not only by those critics who had already championed Bergman's work,but also by those who had previously doubted his claim to greatness.
In this film, Bergman's obsessive search for truth and the meaning of life behind the façade of daily existence is masterfully developed through the memories, dreams and nightmares of a 78-year-old doctor, marvellously portrayed by Victor Sjostrom.
