Description

This genre-blurring, minimalist masterpiece from Ingmar Bergman follows a young nurse (Bibi Andersson) and her patient (Liv Ullmann), an actress who has mysteriously gone mute. The women retreat to a seaside cottage to aid the actress's rehabilitation, but the intimacy of their emotions and motivations embroil them in a stranger, stronger bond. A classic of world cinema, Persona has long been considered one of the major works of 20th century art.

  • Bergman Goes Deep

    3
    By Frank C 66554321.
    I’m sad to say this one missed the mark for me. It has some shocking still frames and scenes thrown in to jar your brain that I found displeasing and the acting just seemed too dramatic. I felt it drew me in deep but left me empty. I can understand why it’s considered a work of art, but it is one that didn’t move me.
  • Landmark in Film

    This film is a landmark in Cinema history. Go into this with a Tabula-Rasa mindset. It skirts the boundaries of what may be done through the medium of filmmaking and does not disappoint the analytical viewer. Mr. Bergman's masterpiece. A must-see for anyone who believes that film and art sometimes conspire to illuminate simple and complex truths behind the influences of others on our own perceptions.
