In that film, a knight played by Max von Sydow plays chess with Death.
One of this director's films opens on a train, where Johan sees tanks passing by through a window. That film is about the sensual Ester, who is contrasted with her sickly intellectual sister Anna. That film, The Silence, includes a scene in which a boy reads A Hero of Our Time, just like this director's film about the relationship between the nurse Alma and the mute actress Elisabet Vogler. In another of his films, Marianne is planning to divorce Evald, the son of a professor who is travelling to receive an honorary degree, Isak Borg. He directed a film in which Jons saves a girl from being raped by Raval. In that film, a knight played by Max von Sydow plays chess with Death. For 10 points, name this Swedish director of Persona, Wild Strawberries, and The Seventh Seal.
