3/09: What's a favorite film for pseudo-intellectuals?

Easy, it's The Seventh Seal which is English for Det sjunde inseglet. Oh, awesome...a knight plays a game of chess with the Grim Reaper, and my mind is absolutely blown away by it. Not.

After seeing Last Action Hero, I did promise myself that I would get around to seeing The Seventh Seal. Now, I have, but I wish that I didn't. Only if Ingmar Bergman could make the conversations more relevant while not putting me to sleep. At least, it's a nice-looking black-and-white film which isn't saying much. There's no doubt that Max von Sydow and Bengt Ekerot are the standouts.

All in all, foreign means overrated, and The Seventh Seal is just that.
