Ingmar Bergman: Det sjunde inseglet (1957)


Ingmar Bergman is a Moviemaker if someone is. And he has done many dull movies that you can't watch without rewinding.

But then he has many great films that you can just watch and wonder and admire. 'Det sjunde inseglet' ('The Seventh Seal') (1957) is one of those movies. And perhaps the best?

The story of searching the truth, the story of man's possibilities and the story of God. And playing chess. It's not possible to think this film without Max von Sydow and his wonderful acting. You suffer and you laugh. The film is very dark and it has sunshining. Can that really be true?
