Round 9: Tossup 8
This male actor’s character is horrified when a bullet breaks his violin during a civil war in the 1968 film Shame. Lute music accompanies a monologue in which this actor asserts he will remember “this moment,” “these strawberries,” and “this bowl of milk.” In a film based on a ballad, this actor flogs himself with branches from a birch tree he uprooted, before killing three goat herders who raped his daughter. This actor’s 11 films for a director include Hour of the Wolf, The Virgin Spring, and a film in which his character invites a family of thespians to shelter in his castle from a plague. In that 1957 film, this actor plays Antonius Block, who takes part in a climactic Danse Macabre. For 10 points, what actor played a knight who plays chess with Death in Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal? ■END■
