Filming Locations: Fårö, Gotlands län, Sweden My word: the mother of all films! Did I witness the birth of modern cinema in this film or did modern cinema find its home in a Bergman movie? Widely recognised as Bergman's most extraordinary and influential film, Persona is a rich and poetic study of womanhood and identity, featuring two of the Swedish master's greatest leading ladies, Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson. Elizabeth (Liv Ullmann) is a famous actress who is suddenly taken ill and left without speech. While convalescing on the coast, she is cared for by Nurse Alma (Bibi Andersson) and, silenced by the effect of her - possibly psychosomatic - illness, finds that her nurse does the talking for both of them. Gradually, the two women's identities begin to merge and their personalities become one. Almost impossible to describe in words, this landmark film is a visual tour-de-force which remains as innovative and startling today as it was in 1966. This version is fully uncut and features newly created, uncensored subtitles. Forget FilmFour's advice on films to see before you die. Just catch this one and save yourself time. 5 STARS OUT OF 5 Persona Ingmar Bergman Buy UK Dvd (This Site) (Shipped from UK) Single Disc [2003] Director: Ingmar Bergman Actors: Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann, Margaretha Krook, Gunnar Björnstrand, Jörgen Lindström Format: Black & White, PAL Language: Swedish Region: All Regions Number of discs: 1 Classification: 15 Studio: Tartan Video DVD Release Date: 28 April 2003 Run Time: 83 minutes DVD Features: Main Language: Swedish Available Audio Tracks: Dolby Digital Sub Titles: English Disc Format: DVD 5 Star And Director Filmographies Scene Selection Original US Theatrical Trailer Philip Strick Film Notes Promotional Art Gallery Price: £17.99 (UK Sterling) / $ 37.99 (US Dollars) (Shipped from UK) (Price includes worldwide postage & packaging) Also available: amazon.co.uk Movie Review Ingmar Bergman ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth ingmar bergman dvds ingmar bergman videos ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth Page created by: lenin@netcomuk.co.uk Changes last made: 2007
