Ingmar Bergman's provocative existential drama was the first to garner him great international attention.
December 15, 2010
Symbolism-filled classic a tough sell for kids.

The Seventh Seal is a film not about the end of time, but the silence between man and God.
August 01, 2013
The movie is an unbending breakdown of the human soul, and perhaps one of the finest - and most confrontational - ever made.
July 30, 2007
It survives today only as an unusually pure example of a typical 50s art-film strategy: the attempt to make the most modern and most popular of art forms acceptable to the intelligentsia by forcing it into an arcane, antique mold.
May 03, 2015
Bergman's most iconic expression of existential yoke
February 09, 2006
Not only highly impressive but thought-provoking, relevant and intensely moving in our present, nervous, times.
March 26, 2009
Film has superior technical narrative, impressive lensing and thesping.
January 17, 2012

Its view of a seemingly godless landscape in the grip of plague is still bold and frightening.

July 23, 2013
Bergman's visually striking medieval morality play [was] the work that gained him an international reputation.
