## Description

By the midsixties, Ingmar Bergman had already conjured many of the cinema’s most unforgettable images. But with the radical Persona, he attained new levels of visual poetry. In the first of a series of legendary performances for Bergman, Liv Ullmann plays a stage actor who has inexplicably gone mute; an equally mesmerizing Bibi Andersson is the garrulous young nurse caring for her in a remote island cottage. While isolated together there, the women undergo a mysterious spiritual and emotional transference. Performed with astonishing nuance and shot in stark contrast and soft light by Sven Nykvist, the influential Persona is a penetrating, dreamlike work of profound psychological depth. BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES New, 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack New visual essay on the film’s prologue by Ingmar Bergman scholar Peter Cowie New interviews with actor Liv Ullmann and filmmaker Paul Schrader Excerpted archival interviews with Bergman, Ullmann, and actor Bibi Andersson On-set footage, with audio commentary by Bergman historian Birgitta Steene Liv & Ingmar, a 2012 feature documentary directed by Dheeraj Akolkar Trailer New English subtitle translation PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by film scholar Thomas Elsaesser, an excerpt from the 1970 book Bergman on Bergman, and an excerpted 1977 interview with Andersson

Review: Enigmatic and Psychological Milestone of European Cinema - Master director Ingmar Bergman's hypnotic, avant garde composition is cinema on the nature of cinema. A challenging enigma, still discussed over 50 years later, and so seminal that this is the type of art film that comes to mind when people think of the stereotypical art film. From it's brilliant opening montage showing the conception of film with the projector's parts mimicking the human reproductive system, giving birth to light, shadows, and illusions, a reel of film running, and it's organic emotional product, a boy breaking the fourth-wall by touching the screen, images of life and death, and the manipulative spider walking across the glaring white background. The psychologically charged main story involves an actress who suddenly becomes mute and the talkative, caring nurse with whom she shares a secluded beach house during recovery. Their unique personalities and relationship leads to shocking confessions, strange dreamlike night visits (one of the most iconic images in cinema), and a disturbing melding of identity that lead to resentment and conflict.The film constantly reminds us this is a film and is in control, both a view of a filmmaker's psyche and a mirror, as when the actress takes a picture of us, or when tension becomes so intense the film literally burns and melts. Legendary cinematographer Sven Nykvist's use of starkness, white fade outs, and Bergman trademark close ups of hands and the all important face is done with expertise. This is Bergman's most revolutionary work, but just one of his many masterpieces. The Criterion Blu ray/DVD set comes with a great amount of documentaries, interviews, and superb essays. A film difficult to describe, and an experience difficult to forget.
Review: A Life-Changing Flm - Good for you, to the poster who suggested Criterion take down those ridiculous comments. I saw PERSONA around the same time she did (1968 or so -- a few years after release). That night changed my life. My reaction: "I didn't know film could DO THAT." "THAT" being actually a variety of things, some of which we maybe take for granted now. That film could be self-referential to jarring effect. That someone could not be able to speak and yet have nothing wrong with her. That there could be a transmigration of one soul into another person, and vice versa. That silence creates a void that must be filled. And basically that film could be poetry -- non-literal, non-linear. I had an art theater near me, luckily, and I crammed myself full of Bergman, especially his Trilogy. I had already been introduced to some of the other greats, directors who would become my favorites, but even the best of Truffaut, Fellini, even Godard and Kurosawa, did not prepare me for the worlds that opened for me when I saw PERSONA. (WARNING: Just don't use PERSONA as a date movie early in your relationship. Your date will look at you as if you're completely nuts and run screaming into the night. Take it from me: I know. Some mistakes you don't make twice.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great film and in a Criterion package with Blu-ray and DVD.
*by M***E on July 3, 2015*

One of the greatest films ever made, and in a package that is itself cryingly beautiful. Criterion! How I love you! If you can't see this on 35mm in a vast, over-air-conditioned movie theater -- which this film deserves, but -- get this. The whites and grey and blacks look like thoughts, the sound is tuned, and the conclusion is as riddling as ever.
