Do check out the Seventh Seal, but it's also worth looking at some of his early films. He has
a dark vein of humour running through all his work, no matter how depressing they appear to be on the surface.

We recommend playing battleships or Twister with Death, rather than chess though ;-)

I suspect I'm rather better at chess than Twister. Or sumo wrestling.

I've never felt quite in the mood to watch him all the way through. I think my copy of SS is on the same tape as Black Narcissus and it took me ten years to get round to watching that. (Not enough Nazis.) That was shown as part of the BBC Century of Cinema.

(Did you spot they showed a silent film last night? Good grief... whatever next?)
