The Seventh Seal
We went to see Ingmar Bergman's defining film this evening. Most appropriate since he died just last week. I must say with each passing year the idea of extending one's life by playing chess with Death seems a bit more credible. Death reminded me of Channel 4s Sammy Terry. On a more serious note, I find myself wondering what insights have I gained since moving to Bath and having an Art House cinema within walking distance? I don't think I have a much deeper understanding of existentialism -Kierkegaard baffles me. But, as Maurene noted when we left the cinema this evening, I am now willing to set through a film with subtitles. Now that's progress!
