Persona
Ingmar Bergman's most personal and original film.
Directed by Ingmar Bergman
Produced by SF Studios
A haunting, psychologically intricate chamber piece about identity, silence, and the dissolution of self between two women in an isolated setting.
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.
