When disillusioned Swedish knight Antonius Block returns home from the Crusades to find his country in the grips of the Black Death, he challenges Death to a chess match for his life. Tormented by the belief that God does not exist, Block sets off on a journey, meeting up with traveling players Jof and his wife, Mia, and becoming determined to evade Death long enough to commit one redemptive act while he still lives.

fresh:
Its view of a seemingly godless landscape in the grip of plague is still bold and frightening.
– John Monaghan,
Detroit Free Press,

rotten:
It survives today only as an unusually pure example of a typical 50s art-film strategy: the attempt to make the most modern and most popular of art forms acceptable to the intelligentsia by forcing it into an arcane, antique mold.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
Not only highly impressive but thought-provoking, relevant and intensely moving in our present, nervous, times.
