The Seventh Seal (BFI Film Classics)
This warm appreciation ofThe Seventh Sealis also a biographical account of two very different people. Melvyn Bragg, who interviewed Bergman in one of the very first broadcasts of hisSouth Bank Show,recalls how he grew up with Bergman's films. As he recounts how Bergman's art accompanied him on his journey to adulthood he also traces the progress of Bergman's own life and career, which reached its maturity at the timeThe Seventh Sealwas released. Bragg's unique approach to the story and the making ofThe Seventh Sealdemonstrates how a great movie can have as strong an impact upon a film lover as it does upon its film maker.
