About

Two women retreat to a cottage on the Swedish coast. Alma (Bibi Andersson), an effervescent nurse, has been tasked with overseeing the recovery of Elisabet (Liv Ullmann in the first of her many Bergman collaborations), an actress who has suddenly lost the ability to speak. As their relationship grows in intensity, their identities begin to fragment and merge in profound and unexpected ways. One of Bergman's foremost masterpieces, Persona is an engrossing, formally daring achievement whose impact has shaped filmmaking for decades.
