His approach in grappling with themes of Life and Death is audacious, to say the least. This game is continued throughout the film.īergman throws a cold steel hammer at his viewers here. As he makes his way back to his estate, he is accompanied by none other than the culprit of this destruction itself, ‘Death.’ Block is well aware of his smeared fate and in some way accepts it too, but the agony over the meaning of his own life makes him strike a bargain with his pale collector and they start a game of chess, where if the knight loses, death may take him. But Ingmar seems more than happy taking every theme head on and leaves generation after generation in absolute awe of his stark depiction of life and death.īergman’s “The Seventh Seal,” tells a tale of a disillusioned knight Antonius Block (Max Von Sydow) returning from the failed crusade with his squire Jöns (Gunnar Bjornstrand) to his homeland Sweden, only to find it being gripped by plague and death. ![]() ![]() Existential work often travels on the back of allegorical modes, questions are asked in cloak of vagueness, and the answers (if there are any) are left to viewers to discuss over desserts. ![]()

What? They rent a cabin and a pontoon boat. In the eleventh hour, Stimson is bailed out by a buyer and she and her family of five take off on vacation. She even flippantly considers bankruptcy after a good friend explains that she has a failed business and that's why bankruptcy exists - it's "part of the system," he says.

In typical Conwellian fashion, the battle scenes are magnificent, but the author also deserves points for incorporating a healthy dose of romance and intrigue into the rousing plot. Cornwell's stylistic verve extends to main character Uhtred, a marvelously complex figure…. Consistently fascinating., The fourth installment of the acclaimed Saxon Tales series resonates with the same masculine vigor as the first three volumes. ![]() ![]() Followers of this excellent series have stuck with Uhtred of Bebbanburg, the dispossessed pagan nobleman in thrall to the professionally Christian Wessexian monarch, through enough battles and perils for a dozen ordinary men. ![]() ![]() There’s grownup witch council stuff going on, and they can’t tell her about it.
