The Seventh Seal was filmed in 1957 by Swedish director Ingmar Bergman. A disillusioned knight and his squire return from the Crusades to find their homeland ravaged by the Black Plague. Death literally stalks the land. The knight, Antonius Block, challenges Death to a game of chess. With the time he gains, Block hopes to do something to render his life significant and he seeks to learn if God exists. The movie is characterized by heavy subject matter, slow action and haunting images.
