Persona

synopsis


Widely recognised as one of Ingmar Bergman's most extraordinary and influential films, Persona is a rich and poetic study of womanhood and identity, featuring two of the Swedish master's greatest leading ladies, Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson. Elizabeth (Ullmann) is a famous actress who is sudenly taken ill and left without speech. While convalescing on the coast, she is cared for by Nurse Alma (Andersson) and, silenced by the effect of her - possibly psychosomatic - illness, finds that her nurse does the talking for both of them. Gradually, the two women's personalities merge and the boundaries between their identities begin to blur. This landmark film is a visual tour-de-force (as photographed by Sven Nkyvist) and remains as innovative and startling today as it was in 1968. This version is fully uncut and features uncensored subtitles.*MR

yes, silence, you guessed it. But what does silence mean? This film will only suggest things, and they are not easy things. Either have your French theory handy - or foget all that - and see what B was thinking ...
