________________________________________________________________________

Widely recognised as an absolute masterpiece, The Seventh Seal “marked a turning point in cinema and asserted film as a medium that could ponder life, death and existential angst” (The Telegraph).Using the rich metaphorical outer sheath of a mediaeval setting and a game of chess, Bergman explores our relationship with death.

 “… and when the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was a silence in heaven” (Revelations)

REVIEWS

"Bergman's visually striking medieval morality play [was] the work that gained him an international reputation." - VILLAGE VOICE

"Film has superior technical narrative, impressive lensing and thesping." - VARIETY

"The Seventh Seal is an existentialist masterpiece packed with stunning symbolism and mordant humour. It's also far more accessible that you might think. Go see it. Or else." - LITTLE WHITE LIES

"Not a friendly film, but in the consciousness of suffering, the search for meaning and the acceptance of death, all (or nearly all) of Bergman is in it." - THE INDEPENDENT
