Episode four of "Adventures in Cinema Studies with Dr. Dudley Weiner" is out!

This week, we pry open The Seventh Seal, an Ingmar Bergman movie whose alternate title could plausibly be One Crazy Summer. That's because it takes place in the summer amidst an outbreak of a disease (the Bubonic Plague) that makes everyone go crazy.

Funnily enough, there is a 1986 John Cusack movie called One Crazy Summer, which is also about a crazy summer, but that's where the parallels between the two films end. Unfortunately, fourth-year honours student Darren Arciszewski insisted we compare them. Fortunately, he didn't have much to say about One Crazy Summer.
