Disillusioned and exhausted after a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight (Max von Sydow) encounters Death on a desolate beach and challenges him to a fateful game of chess. For more about The Seventh Seal and The Seventh Seal Blu-ray release, see The Seventh Seal Blu-ray Review Starring: Max von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand, Bengt Ekerot, Nils Poppe, Bibi Andersson, Åke Fridell Director: Ingmar Bergman » See full cast & crew The Seventh Seal Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of 1.34:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. This is another fantastic release by Criterion. Last night, I popped the disc in my player and was so overwhelmed by what I saw, I completely lost track of the time and could not publish my review. Contrast and detail on Criterion's Blu-ray release of The Seventh Seal are spectacular. The close-ups in particular look unbelievably strong. Furthermore, the color-scheme is the best I have seen on a Criterion disc thus far – the blacks are rich and unbelievably lush while the whites are gentle are natural looking. Additionally, film grain is fully intact. The actual print is also notably healthy – I did not detect any debris, scratches, dirt, or stains to report in this review. Finally, when blown through a digital projector, The Seventh Seal remains incredibly stable and tight to the frame. Simply put, this is a fantastic Blu-ray release! (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" release. Therefore, unless you have a native Region-A or Region-Free player, you won't be able to access the disc's content). The Seventh Seal Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: Swedish LPCM Mono and English Dolby Digital 1.0. For the record, Criterion have provided optional English subtitles for the main feature. The quality of the audio presentation is as impressive as the quality of the video presentation. The Swedish LPCM Mono track is notably stable and well balanced. The dialog in particular is crisp, crystal clear and very easy to follow. As expected, Erik Nordgren's soundtrack is exceptionally well balanced with the dialog - I personally never had to reach for my remote control to adjust the volume. Finally, I did not detect any disturbing pops, cracks, or hissings to report in this review. All in all, this is as solid of an audio treatment as anyone could have hoped for.
