Product: Persona (1967)
Rating: 5.0
Berman's most haunting film
I saw this film over three months ago, but the brilliant images still stay with me, and I have a feeling that, like most great works, there are things that happen in this film that no one can ever forget. The opening sequence is far more original and artistic than most films of today which think they are influenced by Bergman. Along with being a startling intellectual puzzle, this film also stands for many emotional problems and slips of sincerity. The scene where the two women become one is reminiscent of the bathing scene in a different but similarly harrowing work, The Plague, but Camus. Utterly breathtaking and provocative.
