Lots of films about a medieval world of good vs. evil, but only Bergman has made a film that looks like it was produced 600 years ago.
Beautiful shots, impassioned monologues, great themes, and amazing performances. A classic to watch!
Very slow, sad film that is unmatched in its impact on pretentious first year film students who want to feel unique.
One of Bergman’s more accessible movies. The use of humor provides welcomed balance to the heady themes that he never shies away from.
Surprisingly comedic, blatantly abstract, peacefully dark, a beautiful film
I wanted to watch it forever and I watched it four months after my father died it really makes you think about death and the meaning of life
I plan on watching more of Ingmar Bergman’s films!
On a third watch, I muted the entire film and enjoyed it much more. Still not my taste, but Persona will always be a masterpiece. 7/10
Watch if you've thought about "God's silence".
Dark, existential, and beautifully shot. Some of these shots are so iconic that you’ll recognize them, even if you’ve never seen it before.
