movie: Persona

this is my first Ingmar Bergman movie. fairly strange. a lot of familiar imagery which i suppose has been copied down through the years, maybe starting here. "a poem told in images", so it is said.

recommend: now i understand all that, um, idiom i've always seen satirized or imitated, where there are quick black-and-white shots of disturbing imagery, people alone in empty rooms shouting and crying, and long monologues about loneliness and emptiness accompanied by sex and/or blood and/or screaming.
