[OLD] The Seventh Seal: Chess

Just something quick I made for fun in 2013, primarily for the aesthetic thumbnail. "The Seventh Seal is a 1957 Swedish historical fantasy film. Set in Sweden during the Black Death, it tells of the journey of a medieval knight and a game of chess he plays with the personification of Death, who has come to take his life. The title refers to a passage from the Book of Revelation, used both at the very start of the film, and again towards the end, beginning with the words "And when the Lamb had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour".[Rev. 8:1] Here, the motif of silence refers to the "silence of God", which is a major theme of the film."
