Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal is an eerily apt film to watch in our current climate. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Taking place in Black Plague ravaged Sweden, The Seventh Seal follows a worn and disenchanted crusader, Antonius Block, as he plays a game of chess with Death himself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Talk about relevant right? Just as we come to grips with COVID-19 and it's impact on society, Antonius Block navigates his wavering faith and fear of death while in pursuit of one last meaningful deed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ The cool thing about The Seventh Seal and its characters is that they are cognizant of the world around them. Everyone is searching for answers. Some reach out to God, some to the Devil and some don't reach out at all. It's a fascinating examination into what people rely on in times of crisis. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Finally, this movie is gorgeous. Bergman’s camera work is superb. The sets are wonderful and my goodness the close ups are picture perfect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5/5
