Persona


Bergman's Persona has to be among the richest films in history, if not for its insane beauty then surely for its provocative illustration of human frailty. The film is about an actress whose mental illness prevents her from talking. She bears a striking resemblance to her nurse, who takes her out of the hospital and proceeds to care for her in charming seaside home.

The uni-vocal but maddening relationship that ensues will give rise to a panic that even thousands of hours of yoga won't be able to soothe.
