1966: You + Me = Us in PERSONA
Manage episode 356460465 series 2865408
Duality. Facades! Identity!? It's all underneath the microscope in director Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" (1966), which ranked No. 18 on the BFI's Greatest Films of All Time Sight and Sound poll.
In this episode, Mike and Brian dive into the subconscious to explore the links between authenticity and art, desire and security, intimacy and acting, secrets and the Self. They gush over the film's black-and-white cinematography, discuss how horror stylings work to guide viewer expectations, then debate what's "real" in "Persona," and how much literal truth even matters in movies obsessed with intuition and the fine lines that divide competing forces within ourselves.
