Overview

De Düva is a 1968 Oscar-nominated American short film that parodies the films of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, including Wild Strawberries and The Seventh Seal. The film borrows heavily from the plot lines of some of Bergman's most famous films. The dialogue, seemingly in Swedish, is actually a Swedish-accented fictional language based on English, German, Latin, and Swedish, with most nouns ending in "ska." The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.

Most of us would probably agree we think best on the toilet, without or without a deceased dove for inspiration, and when it comes to that moment when confronted with the ashen-faced manifestation of death itself, then why not have a game of badmintonsk in the meadow?
