Probably Bergman's most critically acclaimed film, this scene of the protagonist playing chess with Death is a cinematic peak.

What's Alan Tudyk doing in that film?

Outside of the iconic opening, and some other iconic shots, this film is another that the cultural osmosis doesn't do justice.

Bergman made some really great films. Back in the day, I saw Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries and Persona amongst others. The former two were quite great though Persona was so so for me. I still don't think I have seen every film from him; maybe it's time to see even the lesser known gems from him.

one of my favourite films from one of my favourite directors. beautiful, uplifting and cathartic, even with its morbid themes. truly beautiful.

i once dm'ed a one on one game very much inspired by this, the pc playing a few turns of chess with death each session. good times...

Always include the original film name, director and year of release. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Roma, Federico Fellini, Unknown Year]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

➧2. Add review? I'ts your choice! In the 'body' of the post you can add your review, a comment or anything else you think about the film. You're free to do that, let's keep the discussion open about the film you just posted. Or just don't write anything and share your favourite frame, is up to you.

➧3. No low-effort/low-quality posts.

Posts made to c/filmsframes are expected to be of high quality and have serious effort put behind them. The frame should be clean, not have any urls/website watermarks in them.

➧4. Be Original

Don’t publish stills/frames of a famous film like everyone else, we want to see your own view of a film, your favourite shot, try to publish your favourite still/frame.

➧5. Be respectful.

Harassment, abuse, name calling, and/or threats of any kind is not tolerated here. Any content, whether an image or a comment, that includes any kind of bigoted language or hate speech will be met with a permanent ban.

➧6. No off-topic Content

Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not film stills/frames) or that contains gory material.

➧7. No spam or reposts.

Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to c/filmsframes, and do not repost from the top of all time.

➧8. No advertisement or self-promotion.

Do not use this community to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

➧10. Tag NSFW Posts

· Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit” · Gore, both human and non-human.

➧11. Look around you... Please watch what is posted already, maybe shots/frames/stills from ‘Marvel’ or other “blockbuster” films or others alike, aren’t the most suitable for this community. Yet, this is relative, if you find your "view/still/frame is artistic enough to post, don’t be shy to post it.
