Persona (1966)
Movie
Released
83 minutes, Criterion edition. A nurse caring for an actress who has stopped speaking finds her own need to talk becoming increasingly exposed. Ingmar Bergman's faces, pauses and ruptures in the image make the encounter feel larger than its small cast and setting. The brevity intensifies rather than simplifies it, so choose this for concentrated psychological uncertainty.
