Disillusioned and exhausted after a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight (Max von Sydow) encounters Death on a desolate beach and challenges him to a fateful game of chess. Much studied, imitated, even parodied, but never outdone, Bergman's stunning allegory of man's search for meaning was one of the benchmark foreign imports of America's 1950s art house heyday, pushing cinema's boundaries and ushering in a new era of movie going. Review: I admire and appreciate it. I wish I could love it more. - I feel like a fool for not loving this classic examination of the existence (or lack thereof) of both God and the meaning of life more. I appreciate it, with it's stark, lovely photography, attention to detail, marvelous performances, and sly dark sense of humor that balances the portentousness of the subject matter, and makes the film much easier to watch than my teen film-class memories of it. On the other hand, while I appreciate the film's importance in cinema history, and the bravery with which it tackles the biggest of issues in a head-on, intellectual way, I find it just that - a very intellectual experience, devoid of much in the way of emotion. I also find some of the writing painfully preachy and on the nose. Yet, in the end, I admire what it accomplished in its time, and how well it holds up 53 years later. And seeing as I went from not liking it at all, to liking it quite a bit on my 2nd viewing, I'm open to what a third seeing might bring. As almost goes without saying, the Criterion blu-ray transfer is stunning, and worth buying for the strength of the images, even if you struggle with the film. I'm glad I got it. Review: fantastic movie, poor shipping - Don't let this review put you off from the movie, the movie is fantastic and is a must see. However my problem is the seller. The DVD arrived without much delay and the price is fair, but the packaging the DVD was sent in was so poor that the case is broken and the discs are scratched. Luckily the discs work. But when paying over £15 for a DVD I want a bit better packaging really. I have ordered DVDs from the US to the UK before and had no trouble, I am very disappointed. Still the film was excellent and the special features were amazing!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Anders Ek, Bengt Ekerot, Benkt-Ake Benktsson, Bertil Anderberg, Bibi Andersson, Erik Strandmark, Gudrun Brost, Gunnar Bjrnstrand, Gunnar Olsson, Gunnel Lindblom, Inga Gill, Inga Landgr_, Ingmar Bergman, Lars Lind, Maud Hansson, Max von Sydow, Nils Poppe, Tor Borong, Ulf Johansson, ke Fridell Contributor Anders Ek, Bengt Ekerot, Benkt-Ake Benktsson, Bertil Anderberg, Bibi Andersson, Erik Strandmark, Gudrun Brost, Gunnar Bjrnstrand, Gunnar Olsson, Gunnel Lindblom, Inga Gill, Inga Landgr_, Ingmar Bergman, Lars Lind, Maud Hansson, Max von Sydow, Nils Poppe, Tor Borong, Ulf Johansson, ke Fridell See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 727 Reviews | | Format | Black & White, Blu-ray, Full Screen, NTSC, Special Edition, Subtitled | | Genre | Drama | | Language | Swedish | | Runtime | 1 hour and 37 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** Black & White, Blu-ray, Full Screen, NTSC, Special Edition, Subtitled - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** Swedish - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 37 minutes ## Images ![Criterion Collection: Seventh Seal [Blu-ray] [1957] [US Import] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Rmv75POSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I admire and appreciate it. I wish I could love it more. *by K***G on 15 April 2012* I feel like a fool for not loving this classic examination of the existence (or lack thereof) of both God and the meaning of life more.

However my problem is the seller. The DVD arrived without much delay and the price is fair, but the packaging the DVD was sent in was so poor that the case is broken and the discs are scratched. Luckily the discs work. But when paying over £15 for a DVD I want a bit better packaging really. I have ordered DVDs from the US to the UK before and had no trouble, I am very disappointed. Still the film was excellent and the special features were amazing!! ### ⭐⭐ Human Condition *by A***X on 5 June 2020* Having watched this 1957 movie almost 63 years later I must admit that I was somewhat very disappointed. This is not in any way trying to be disrespectful to the great Ingmar Bergman but this movie appeared simplistically subtle on the theme of the human condition. The artie stuff is there but the result seems to be too static, suggesting it would perhaps be more appropriate on a theatre stage rather than on film. The 5 star awards are rather over-stretching the within reason deserved credits but then again it is a matter of taste, like everything else in life. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Seventh Seal (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Seven Samurai (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD] - Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/78766656-criterion-collection-seventh-seal-blu-ray-1957-us-import](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/78766656-criterion-collection-seventh-seal-blu-ray-1957-us-import) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-10-03*
