Finding beauty and goodness even in surroundings of death, despair and corruption? Committing yourself to acts of kindness in the face of your own doubts about faith, as both the knight and the squire argue and practice? How is that wallowing in nihilism? Poor aneic.

aneic - Except that the film isn't nihilistic, nor is it preaching nihilism (in fact, very little, if any art is nihilistic, and nothing by Bergman comes close to qualifying for the label.) It does present various crises of faith, brought about by some intensely bleak situations - but characters such as the husband and wife performers (and their infant son) are integral to the film's viewpoint, and serve as a refutation to the squire's somewhat (but not entirely) nihilistic statements.

I love this film so much!
(...and btw, if someone here haven't heard Scott Walker's song The Seventh Seal you're really missing out on a 60's masterpiece!!)

I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Saying what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live
I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is

So many scenes from this film are iconic. I still get shivers when I hear the music kick in for the procession of flagellants.

A chess game. Life. Death. Faith. A response to the most ancient questions of the human being.

Not as good as I expected. Had an interesting premise and some good stuff scattered around, but the end result wasn't great.

Not the best film of all time by any means, but certainly a fine accomplishment. It's also far more easy to follow and humorous than most people seem to infer while talking about it.

Faith is a torment. It is like loving someone who is out there in the darkness but never appears, no matter how loudly you cal

How a movie about death, turns out to be really beautiful and a true masterpiece? Simply incredibly!

I question myself many times about God's silence and if he truly exists. This movie makes you think very much and that's so good!

I was expecting a movie that was almost entirely just a man sitting alone with death playing chess and generally being philosophical and what have you. What I got was a mildly amusing trip across the plague-ridden Swedish countryside with some talk about the absence of god kind of thrown on top. Naturally, that doesn't mean it's a bad movie, just that I didn't think much of it. I did like the ending, though. Maybe I'll enjoy it more if I watch it again some months from now.
