Ingmar Bergman, a famous Swedish director, was born 100 years ago, so lots of his work is screening at the moment as a result. I went to see The Seventh Seal (1957), which made him renowned worldwide. The film is old, but the poetic allegories of life and death are still very resonant and cinematically beautiful. Set in the late Middle Ages, just around the time of the Plague epidemic in Europe, it's a deep clash between the grim philosophy of memento mori, and the search for value and meaning in living. As I am into these sort of existentialist and religious discussions, the experience was quite enjoyable.
Also, it's a goldmine for quotes - you can pick between nice and thoughtful, or completely crazy
