What is Persona about?
A nurse caring for an actress who has stopped speaking finds the boundary between their identities beginning to dissolve.
Why watch Persona?
Bergman treats the face as both confession and mask. Compact, unsettling and formally fearless, it keeps asking whether intimacy reveals a self or invents another one.
