Scandinavian Double Feature Screening: the Seventh Seal and Italian for Beginners July 19, 2007

Join film critic Colin Boyd for a double-feature screening of Scandinavian films, in conjunction with the exhibition 'Contemporary Scandinavian Art.' Starring Max von Sydow, 'The Seventh Seal' is Bergman's allegorical, existentialist breakthrough film. Set in medieval Sweden, the film focuses on a medieval knight who returns from the Crusades across a plague-ridden landscape, to challenge Death to a game of chess. 'Italian for Beginners' is an amusing story which follows six, lonely thirty-something singles from Copenhagen who travel together to Venice to study Italian.
