The Seventh Seal

I originally watched this film around 2009/2010, a couple years after experiencing a crisis of faith which had left me deep in the throes of agnosticism. Suffice to say, as an agnostic who still retained a yearning for the Christian faith but needed certainty to believe, I saw myself reflected in Antonius Block.

I’m no longer in the place I was then; I’ve since become an agnostic Whiteheadian Discordian Christian omnist (yes, I still identity as “agnostic”, but as an adjective rather than a noun). Yet I still love this film, and all of Bergman’s films pertaining to the “silence of God”.
