Persona
“Ingmar Bergman's most personal and original film”
Drama
A young nurse, Alma, is put in charge of Elisabeth Vogler: an actress who is seemingly healthy in all respects, but will not talk. As they spend time together, Alma speaks to Elisabeth constantly, never receiving any answer. The time they spend together only strengthens the crushing realization that one does not exist.
VIBE
An intensely disquieting psychological journey, Persona blurs the lines of identity with stark, intimate precision. It feels like a dream you can't quite shake, exploring the fragile boundaries of self and the unsettling power of silence. A profoundly cerebral and visually arresting experience.
