A knight returning from the Crusades (Max von Sydow, pictured right) tries to persuade Death, over a game of chess, that there is good in mankind.

Reviewed by Chris Tookey


Ingmar Bergman at his most original but morbidly portentous, ending the proceedings with a dance of death. A film about fear of the H-bomb? Your guess is as good as mine, but the visual imagery is unforgettable.
