Persona (1966)
Written and directed
by Ingmar Bergman this film stars Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann. A
young nurse is asked to look after an actress who refuses to speak.
This is a really
intriguing film but one that is certainly not to the tastes of
everyone as the experimental nature of some of the direction can be
off putting. The plot involves two characters that are the mirror
opposite of each other and poses many existential questions to the
audience. There is also a strong theme of the gender roles forced on
women that runs through the film. While some of the direction was a
little annoying in my opinion there are some excellently composed
shots and the film is riveting through out.
5/5
