Have you even seen it?
I watched it for the first time a couple weeks ago and it floored me, watched it again immediately. I thought it was pretty amazing start to finish though I can't claim to understand it very well. Something about the roles people play, both while interacting with others and in living with oneself. I think all the film-making stuff is in service of that, along with everything else.
It has one of the greatest introduction sequences I've ever seen, if not the best. The start from the arc lamp projector and the opening credits sequence almost make me coom.
It’s mostly just about human psychology and relationships, hence the title
I seen it.
for me it's the worst Bergman film, just so damn boring and pointless
His worst? He made a ton of movies anon
Do you think films like this could be made today? Or was Bergman just a product of his time in a sense? I ask because these narratives and complex subjects are always fun to write stories about but require either alot of luck to get them made or a lot of money AND luck.
It would take somebody that has the itch to explore those topics, is willing to make something more experimental, and can have full creative control over his project. It's possible but increasingly unlikely because it seems like the more artsy people are less and less interested in creating anything that pushes back on orthodoxy, whether it be social orthodoxy or the business imperative of being profitable or anything else.
People today that do manage to make movies about complex subjects seem to mostly do it incidentally rather than purposely. Like the girl that made Aftersun. Anyways, it is evident that the well known directors today are either not interested in making movies like that, or otherwise can't scrounge up the money for them.
Yes? Money is not the problem, a flick like this can be made cheaper than ever, if anyone wants to they can make one just like it. It’s just that no one except film students are interested in making a movie like this. Like you said, it’s very much a product of its time and context (the “golden age” of European art house cinema). It would be like asking if a movie like Pulp Fiction could be made today, it probably could it’s just that no one is particularly interested in making it or watching it.
>dyke shit
NO THANKS
This is baby's first black-and-white art house shit. I never stepped for into film school and managed to be recommended this.
The scene where she talks about fricking that boy on the beach is coomer kino
>This is baby's first black-and-white art house shit.
What do you mean by that? Be specific
>This is baby's first black-and-white art house shit.
nah, that's always french new wave
It's entry-level because it's well-known but it's also fricking amazing. I don't reckon a lot of people who watch it just as they're getting into film enjoy it.

So there's a shot of a child's penis in Persona. Can anyone explain to me what that meant and why it was so le artistic?
If that thing belonged to a child he'd never be able to wear shorts when he got older
Yeah my bad. So explain the wiener to me. What purpose did that penis serve??
it was a le cheeky nod to the audience
In the 60s something like that would be considered transgressive and shocking
it's not a child
>pretentious artsy trash
>Ingmar Bergman
I'd never
I'm such a coombrain I wanked at THAT scene
>hyped up as the cinema goat
>muh playing chess with death scene
>has literally 0 relevance today
>never talked about
>only ultra boomer directors like woody allen cites him as an influence
was bergman a meme all along?
Filtered, go back to your kubrick trash
Persona is relevant today, it's one of those things that will never be irrelevant because of its subject matter
His best movie is Auntum Sonata, chud
>Auntum
which one is that?
wrong again his best is Fanny and Alexander
i'm chudface because nobody actually talks about movies on this fricking board
whats the name
Persona.
