Persona

1966 · TMDB 8.1

Directed by Ingmar Bergman

A young nurse, Alma, is put in charge of Elisabeth Vogler: an actress who is seemingly healthy in all respects, but will not talk. As they spend time together, Alma speaks to Elisabeth constantly, never receiving any answer.

Why it matters

A nurse and her mute patient, an actress, retreat to a seaside cottage where their identities begin to merge in Bergman's haunting psychodrama.
