By Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 7, 2016 From The Stop ButtonThe Seventh Seal has a lot of striking imagery. Gunnar Fischer?s cinematography is peerless, but it?s more?it?s how the photography works with the shot composition, how the shots work with one another (Lennart Wall?n?s editing is simultaneously amiable and stunning).

Quotes from
Antonius Block: Is it so terribly inconceivable to comprehend God with one's senses? Why does he hide in a cloud of half-promises and unseen miracles? How can we believe in the faithful when we lack faith? What will happen to us who want to believe, but can not? What about those who neither want to nor can believe? Why can't I kill God in me? Why does He live on in me in a humiliating way - despite my wanting to evict Him from my heart? Why is He, despite all, a mocking reality I can't be rid of?
Mia: You don't look so happy.
Antonius Block: No.
Mia: Are you tired?
Antonius Block: Yes. I have boring company.
Mia: You mean your squire?
Antonius Block: No, not him.
Mia: Who do you mean, then?
Antonius Block: Myself.
