I'm not criticising your work because you have done your job, I'm just generalizing or even better yet, posing a question for debate. I'm curious if, when you take a film as iconic as this one, if writing a normal review of it is useful/all you need to do. By now the Seventh Seal is famous as more than just a film, it is discussed in terms of ideas, religion, as part of Bergman's entire career. By simplfying it down to the acting is good or watever if we say anything useful other than to let people know we've seen it? Again, not saying you've done anything wrong here. It's weird for me to read a normal "review" review of a Bergman film when he has so long been part of "criticism" reviwing. What do you think?The Taxi Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352371911592068643noreply@blogger.com
