Book Presentation:
A medieval allegory of faith and doubt, The Seventh Seal contains the horrors of witch-burnings and plague, yet also features flashes of peace and joy. Each volume in the "BFI Film Classics" series contains a personal commentary on the film, a brief production history and a detailed filmography.

Presentation by Amazon:
This warm appreciation of The Seventh Seal is also a biographical account of two very different people. Melvyn Bragg, who interviewed Bergman in one of the very first broadcasts of his South 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 time The Seventh Seal was released. Bragg's unique approach to the story and the making of The Seventh Seal demonstrates how a great movie can have as strong an impact upon a film lover as it does upon its film maker.

About the Author:
Melvyn Bragg is an author and broadcaster. He is Controller of Arts Programmes at London Weekend Television. His latest novel is Crystal Rooms.
