About
The Seventh Seal

Bergman’s sprawling look at life, death, faith and religion is in equal strains joyful and bleak: at times charming in its one guise of light-hearted existential romp, and at others haunting as a brooding philosophical allegory. The whole work isn’t something that qualifies as ‘tight’ in the traditional sense, but the sentiments comes through clearly and the unorthodox tonal blend develops surprisingly harmoniously. One that gets better with every viewing, it’s deservingly seminal.
