Ingmar Bergman’s dark masterpiece effortlessly sees off the revisionists and the satirists; it is a radical work of art that reaches back to scripture, to Cervantes and to Shakespeare to create a new dramatic idiom of its own. It was released 50 years ago, but it’s as fresh as a glass of ice-cold water.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

A knight returning from the Crusades finds a rude church still open in the midst of the Black Death, and goes to confession there. Speaking to a hooded figure half-seen through an iron grill, he pours out his heart. The hooded figure turns, and is revealed as Death, who has been following the knight on his homeward journey. This is Bergman at his allegorical best with one of Max von Sydow’s best performances.
