Synopsis
Bergman's classic film is a stunning allegory of man's search for meaning in life. A knight, returning home from the Crusades, plays a game of chess with Death while the plague ravages medieval Europe. An exceptionally powerful film, it is a work of remarkable scope, with austere visial images, and stands as a textbook of the craft of filmmaking.
