Persona https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/08/Persona_Poster.jpg Dir: Ingmar Bergman Genre: Drama Year: 1966 If you've never seen Persona, you may be completely shocked. A 50+ year old black-and-white movie from Sweden--it must be a boring old drama right? I will warn you now that this is one of the most insane, experimental works of avant garde cinema ever made, and you will be quite surprised the second it starts. Persona isn't a pretentious art film for the sake of being weird. A lot of movies in this vein admittedly are, but Ingmar Bergman is legitimately applying Freudian theory and themes of identity throughout the film, making for this wonderfully surreal character study of two women. You could probably spend a semester in film school analyzing these thematic elements and another semester marveling at the technical feats Bergman accomplishes as well. Without spoiling anything, there are several authentically "how the fuck did he do that" moments in the movie, as Bergman shows the world that no one else behind the camera is like him. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
