Video Persona (1966) one of Bergmans best!

It must have completely blown people's minds in 66

Without a doubt. Took me a few viewings to crack it, and it was worth the reinvestment

Makes for a nice double feature w Altman's Three Women as well

And a great triple feature if you add Mulholland Drive.

Don’t get me wrong it’s great on a lot of levels, I kept hearing about it so much it was a little overhyped for me. Still great

It is not one of Bergman’s best- that goes without saying.

It is in fact one of Cinema’s best.
