In 1960 Margarethe von Trotta discovered a love for film at a screening of Bergman’s „The Seventh Seal“. It is no wonder that her new documentary begins on the same beach where the knight played a game of chess with Death. She offers a say to other artists whom he inspired: actor and director Liv Ullmann, French director and co-author of a book about Bergman Olivier Assayas, French director Mia Hansen-Løve and Swedish director Ruben Östlund, who shares his compatriot’s taste and explores a contemporary society precisely.
