Cinemafia

Welcome to the second episode of 'Cinemafia' – the film-review show where one of us lies. This week we review 'The Seventh Seal' – a Swedish historical-fantasy film from 1957, directed by Ingmar Bergman. As IMDB puts it: “A man seeks answers about life, death, and the existence of God as he plays chess against the Grim Reaper during the Black Plague.” Classic stuff. As always, we recommend you watch the film before listening, as we don't go over the plot in great detail and much of our discussion may otherwise be meaningless and frustrating (if it isn't already). The premise: we review a film, but one of the hosts (the Mafia) is covertly distorting their opinion, and it's the job of the other hosts (the Villagers) to deduce who the Mafia is and thus vote for their lynching... while at the same time everyone (hopefully) provides engaging critical analysis. If you would like to know who the Mafia is before listening, head to https://tinyurl.com/cinemafiaspoilers. Next week we will be reviewing 'The Counselor',
