Film Synopsis

After a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight challenges Death to a fateful game of chess. More than forty years after its initial release, Ingmar Bergman's stunning allegory of man's apocalyptic search for meaning remains a textbook on the art of filmmaking and an essential building block in any collection.

Our Take

"This film is strange and disturbing, but you'll love every minute of it. The gorgeous black and white cinematography creates a world ravaged by death and disease, in which the disillusioned knight searches for hope."
