The Seventh Seal (1957)

"When disillusioned Swedish knight Antonius Block returns home from the Crusades to find his country in the grips of the Black Death, he challenges Death to a chess match for his life. Tormented by the belief that God does not exist, Block sets off on a journey, meeting up with traveling players Jof and his wife, Mia, and becoming determined to evade Death long enough to commit one redemptive act while he still lives."

If this is your first movie with us, welcome! The Byrd is currently replacing the chairs in the main auditorium, but the recently renovated balcony is now open. Hooray! Hosts will be up there 10-15 min before showtime in the front row. If it isn’t packed, we tend to spread out so people can relax their elbows. You’re welcome to sit with or come say hi! After the movie, we’ll chat outside under the marquee. Please stay and talk with us!
