Might possibly be the worst film I've seen. Smultstrollet (Wild Strawberries) by Ingmar Bergman is much more interesting and enjoyable.

Overall disappointing. You can definitely talk more about it that see it and in my opinion that is not what movies are about, that's what books are about but even as a book it would be quite simple. There is nothing new in it, nothing intelligent people haven't thought about. It even doesn't give an answer of some sort, that at least would be some kind of closure. It was just a life, not even an interesting part of it.
But I did like the quote on love :"Love is the blackest of all plagues."

The movie definitely rekindled thoughts I used to have in my early twenties or late teens about God and why he doesn't do anything about the suffering and pain in this world and there by doubting his existence. This movie is thought provoking at places but I didn't not enjoy watching this movie as much as I did watching Persona.

It's very weird watching Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal after his version of Death has been parodied in so many well-remembered comedies (a wide range, from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey to Last action Hero), and then discovering that, for all the hoopla about the terse Waiting Women being Bergman's one comedy, this is actually QUITE funny, if darkly so. The bit with Death cutting down a tree, and Gunnar Björnstrand's caustic squire commenting on the smith and his wife making up, had me grinning in what is otherwise an existential and metaphysical piece about whether or not there's an afterlife and what it might mean to Max von Sydow's crusader. You can't outplay Death, but maybe you can draw the game out long enough to make a difference with the Man Upstairs, all the while questioning whether he exists at all and if it's all pointless. The witch burning scene struck me as something of a riposte to Dreyer's Passion of Joan of Arc, its implications more disquieting. Despite some dark material, quite a bit more fun than most Bergman films, I still prefer his more subtle and actor-driven meditations on the subject of God's silence (Winter's Light strikes me as the most powerful).

The last clip of the movie was astonishing. The chess games too and this movie is very good, because it puts us to think about the God's existence and the inevitability of death. As a movie, it didn't disappoint. 8/10
