    The Seventh Seal [Ingmar Bergman, 1957]

    As the plague ravages Scandinavia, a Swedish crusader returning home is greeted at the shore of his homeland by Death. To buy enough time to make it back to see his wife he challenges Death to a game of chess.

    A film about different human reactions to the inevitability of death. One of Bergman’s masterworks.
