Are you sure you don’t mean ‘The Seventh Seal’ directed by Ingmar Bergman, the Swede? I saw it a ‘ton’ of years ago.
Black & White.
Watched it in a film class, along with Potemkin, Triumph of the Will, Repulsion, and Butterflies are Free. I think it was 74 at UF. Back when you discussed and debated the meaning and significance of the film. Spoiler alert Death didn’t mind losing the chess game, because he new he would eventually collect them all.
No it was The Seventh Sign with Demi Moore. Made in the 1980’s. It was actually a pretty good movie.
