Does Death’s face variant from China to Sweden? On this month’s movie night we will show The Seventh Seal, a highly acclaimed movie (Cannes prize 1957) by the famous Swedish director Ingmar Bergman.
A crusader is returning to middle age, pest stricken Sweden and challenges Death to a game of Chess, risking life and soul in the pursuit of a knowledge, which can save him from the abyss of emptiness. In this dark and strongly symbolic movie we meet with lots of Dostoyevsky like characters, from the doubt tormented knight, his sarcastic and cynic squire, saint like misused women, prophetic acrobats to lustful simple-beings, all representing different approaches towards life and existence, but of whom all in the end must bow to Death, a knowleding his mastership.
The movie night is a part of English Corner, and is free of charge, so you will have a wonderful chance to practice your English skills. We will encourage you to stay after the movie and take part in or just listen to the highly interesting discussion afterwards. Do not miss this chance for a real mind-boggling culture meeting! So please join, all thoughts and reflections are valuable!
Time: 2009.4.17, 8-11 pm.
