Probably Bergman’s most critically acclaimed film, this scene of the protagonist playing chess with Death is a cinematic peak.

one of my favourite films from one of my favourite directors. beautiful, uplifting and cathartic, even with its morbid themes. truly beautiful.
i once dm’ed a one on one game very much inspired by this, the pc playing a few turns of chess with death each session. good times…
