Det sjunde inseglet (The Seventh Seal) (1957)

A crusader comes face-to-face with Death and bargains for more time to discover the truth of the afterlife.

The premise allows for plenty of opportunity to explore religious subtext and there are a few interesting methods used to do so, including asking to see the devil to find out if he has answers. The plague also has a firm presence throughout the film which keeps us reminded about Death and his investment in proceedings.

History is portrayed as brutal and lawless with few likeable people around who aren’t portential victims for either pestilence or men. Death is a little disappointing in that he’s portrayed so human that he ends up being just as fallible as anyone. For an endless being that must have had a great deal of time to study the game, he’s no chess mastermind.

Although there were some heavy elements to the subject matter, there was also room for amusements, such as Death sawing down the tree while the actor attempts to weasel out of his fate. There’s some camaraderie between the crusader and his squire, then later the found family element is endearing enough because of the young family.

It makes a good change in style from American movies of the time but the characters were harder to relate to since they almost all have vices and sins that have become their whole personality. It’s predictably solemn at the end, however it could have been more complex as a moral predicament.

4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

-The church seen 15 minutes in is actually forced perspective, it was made by hanging a model from a dead tree.

January Watchlist: New Year, New Films 🎬✨

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to finally watch the films I’ve been putting off for ages. To keep myself on track, I’m starting a new habit—monthly watchlists!

Here’s what I plan to dive into this January.

First on my list is Black Narcissus (1947), a visually stunning drama about nuns grappling with desire and faith in a remote Himalayan convent. It’s been on my watchlist for years, and I have a feeling it’s going to be exactly my kind of film.

2. Next up is Córki Dancingu (2015), a surreal Polish musical/horror about mermaids and nightlife (perfect combination, i'm already encourage). It’s the chance to dive into cinema from my own country—which always seems to be either absolutely brilliant or a total disaster. English title: The Lure.

3. The third pick is Queen of the Lake (Jezerní královna, 1998). I have such a soft spot for Czech cinema, especially fairy tale adaptations, and the moment I saw stills from this film, it went on my list immediately. Magical vibes incoming! ✨🧚‍♀️

4. Next is Granddaughter of Ice (Ledyanaya vnuchka, 1980), a Soviet fairy tale that feels like the perfect winter watch. The frosty landscapes and enchanting atmosphere make it ideal for this time of year—cozy vibes guaranteed. ❄️✨

5. The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet, 1957). This Swedish classic by Ingmar Bergman is a profound exploration of life, death, and existential questions. It's been on my list forever, and I’m finally ready to experience its timeless depth. 🕊️

5. Häxan (1922), a silent Swedish-Danish documentary about witches and the occult. Oh god, it's a must-see for me, and I can’t wait to dive into its unsettling, avant-garde atmosphere. 🖤✨

6. Next, another Polish gem: Sanatorium pod Klepsydrą (1973). A surreal, dreamlike journey through Schulz’s world—just the kind of strange and thought-provoking film I’m craving. 🌙⌛English title: The Hourglass Sanatorium

7. Knowing me, I’ll probably watch a giallo as well, though I’m not sure which one yet. I feel like I’ve already seen most of the iconic ones, but there’s always something new to discover in that genre. 👁️‍🗨️🔪

By the end of the month, I’ll do a little recap of how many films I managed to watch. And if any of them end up inspiring me, you’ll definitely notice—expect a flood of favorite frames on both of my tumblrs, as always. 🎥✨

ingmar bergman · det sjunde inseglet (1957)

when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. and i saw the seven angels who stand before god, and seven trumpets were given to them. another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. he was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all god’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of god’s people, went up before god from the angel’s hand. then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
