The Black Death is wiping out the population of Europe as Antonius Block, a knight, returns disillusioned from the Crusades. Death appears before him, but asking for a chance to live he proposes a game of chess, whilst around him society collapses and religion becomes fervent and zealous. Long acclaimed as a cinematic masterpiece, The Seventh Seal is a stunning allegory of man´s search for meaning in life. Spoofed by Woody Allen, Bill and Ted (on their Bogs Journey) and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Last Action Hero, this is an undoubted masterpiece of world cinema. While this is a highly personal film, in which director Ingmar Bergman (the son of the chaplain of the Swedish royal family) resolves his own doubts about the existence of God, it will leave even the most cynical filled with optimism. 5 STARS OUT OF 5 The Seventh Seal Ingmar Bergman Buy UK Dvd (This Site) (Shipped from UK) Single Disc [2001] Actors: Gunnar Björnstrand, Bengt Ekerot, Nils Poppe, Max von Sydow, Bibi Andersson Director: Ingmar Bergman Actors: Gunnar Björnstrand, Bengt Ekerot, Nils Poppe, Max von Sydow, Bibi Andersson Format: Black & White, PAL Language: Swedish Region: All Regions Number of discs: 1 Classification: PG Studio: Tartan Video DVD Release Date: 24 Sep 2001 Run Time: 92 minutes DVD Features: Main Language: Swedish Available Audio Tracks: Dolby Digital Sub Titles: English Disc Format: DVD 5 Star And Director Filmographies Scene Selection Film Notes The Bergman Collection Trailer Price: £9.99 UK Sterling (excludes postage & packaging) To reserve this item please e-mail by clicking here and include country ordering from.

Update: (Dec 08) The UK company who released this, Tartan Dvd, went out of business in 2008 and are not making this title anymore. Those sold at online retailers and shops are just what they have in stock and which can't be replaced. For example, this film is becoming incredibly hard to find now as it is Bergman's best seller and stockists can't replace it once they have sold all their available copies. As of December 2008 no company has yet come in to release the Bergman titles. So at some point if things don't change stocks are going to dry up which is weird when you consider that these are the films of Europe's greatest 20th-century film director. I have managed to source a handful but after these have gone I'm going to struggle to replace them. You can try other online retailers or shops for yourself and you will see how difficult it is to find. You can also try amazon for this title by using the links below.
