This short film is a parody of some of Ingmar Bergman's best known films, including Wild Strawberries (Smultronstaellet) and The Seventh Seal (Det Sjunde Inseglet). The dialog, seemingly in Swedish, is actually a Swedish-accented fictional language based on English, German, Latin, and Swedish, with most nouns ending in "ska".

Full Plot Details

This short film is a parody of some of Ingmar Bergman's best known films, including Wild Strawberries (Smultronstaellet) and The Seventh Seal (Det Sjunde Inseglet). The dialog, seemingly in Swedish, is actually a Swedish-accented fictional language based on English, German, Latin, and Swedish, with most nouns ending in "ska". The principal character, Professor Viktor Sundqvist, 76, is being driven to a lecture at the university, when dove droppings splatter the car's windshield. Detouring at his uncle's old house, his mind wanders back to his youth, when Death came to a family picnic to claim his sister, Inga. Knowing that Death is a gambler, Viktor has Inga challenge Death to a single-point game of badminton for her life. While they are playing, a dove flies above, soiling Death's cape, and distracting him enough to miss the birdie. Having won the game, Inga is free, and she and Viktor run off for a swim in the lake.

User Review - 10/10 by Ken LA must see for any fan of Bergman. A brilliant parody, but skip if you don't know Wild Strawberries or the Seventh Seal.
User Review - 8/10 by Larry WOkay, there are at least three bird-poop jokes in this movie. It i's also still one of the funniest Bergman parodies out there. Also of interest is Madeline Kahn's first film appearance. Her first line: "Phalliken symbol?" (Subtitle-translated as "Cigar?")
User Review - 6/10 by Tejal JA short 15 mins parody of all Ingmar Bergman's movies, starting with Wild Strawberries, followed by The Seventh Seal..with an in between reference to The Silence. Dialogues are mostly in english, accompanied with a fake Swedish accent which gives the movie a hilarious edge. Could have been more innovative!
