Review of Persona (1966) by Jeremiah M — 22 Mar 2008
Ingmar Bergman set out to become the greatest filmmaker in the world. I think that with Persona, he succeeded. The film is an analysis of the artist's imagination viewed from the inside, of living symbols culled from the life of the man behind the camera.
It also works beautifully as a character study. Persona is simultaneously moving and terrifying, sensual and intellectual. It goes further than any other film I know to push the boundary of what is possible in the cinema.
