[The Seventh Seal](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seventh_Seal)
(1957), dir. [Ingmar
Bergman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingmar_Bergman). Bergman was
investigated by the Swedish government for tax evasion in the 1970s;
though acquitted, he was so shaken by the experience that he quit making
films for eight years.
