The Seventh Seal - The Knight meets Death [English sub] | 1:25: From the Ingmar Bergman's (1918-2007) The Seventh Seal (1957 film) with Max von Sydow (1929--2020 as the Knight and Bengt Ekerot (1920--1971) as Death. In Swedish with subtitles. In fact, all Indo-European languages are mutually intelligible if you really, really try. So when you think about, you understand "Jag aer doeden". A few bits are OK for Show & Tell with a chess set for the classroom.
