Review of Persona (2000) by Hayden G — 09 Aug 2015

A unique film in the history of cinema. Not only does Bergman answer the critiques with this transcendental psychoanalytic movie, but also showing that he has some tricks of his own. From the very first clip of the prologue it's obvious that the next 85 min has something powerful and complexed with a sublime message.

Literally speaking this is also Liv Ullmann's breakthrough, spellbinding as it is, shes nearly mute, though speaking a thousand words with her mystique. As we see personalities are been destroyed and taken apart alongside wondering who is who and what is what.

We are cought in the limbo of reality and dreams, in both terms of the supreme acting but also the great haunting images we see as the characters melt in to another.
