Persona Movie Review 1966

A famous actress turns mute and is treated by a talkative nurse at a secluded cottage. As their relationship turns increasingly tense, the women's personalities begin to merge. Memorable, unnerving--and atypically avant garde--fare from cinema giant Bergman. First of several collaborations between the director and leading lady Ullman. In Swedish with English subtitles.
