3/4
You know, I really don't have much to say about this film. Certain themes were portrayed skillfully, but did I learn anything? Does a movie wrestle with a topic just because it asks a question? Does it provide any insight one way or the other?
Perhaps Seventh Seal did. I am positive that there was more to it than I saw, and subtle symbolism and such is always really cool, but I'm not convinced that the film is truly that valuable to me. The reward in watching pre-60s films is, in general, dangerously slim---it basically lies only in techniques that one must watch out for. The acting and music is depressingly tacky.
I can appreciate a movie like this' influence, but personal reward? Value of experience? Low.
