How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A medieval knight plays chess with Death itself while journeying through plague-ravaged Sweden, searching for meaning and grace in a world of suffering. Bergman's austere masterpiece feels less like narrative and more like a meditation on human fragility, beautiful, devastating, and profoundly unresolved.
