It flirts with meta so much, yes, but not in an annoying way, and not in a way that detracts from the emotion of it. It's one of the best shot fel by sven niquess, you know, one of the great cinemotographers. At one point, elizabeth just starts, the camera is on her, and then she, she has a camera, andThen she turns the camera on us. O, good it's like, co suddenr we're getting alike, oh, wait, this is about me. And i love that. You know, what i love about this movie too, is that it never tempts you too much
David and Tamler dive into Ingmar Bergman’s 1966 masterpiece Persona, a film about two (?) women, Elisabet, a famous stage actress who has stopped speaking, and Alma the chatty young nurse assigned to care for her at an island cottage. What happens when the roles we play as parents, spouses, friends, and colleagues start to feel like dishonest performances, an endless series of desperate lies? Can we escape to an inner sanctum of truth and authenticity? Or is that putting on another mask, playing yet another part, telling a different set of lies? We offer some tentative interpretations of this rich and baffling film. Get that boy a normal sized sheet!
Plus we share some thoughts about the Chappelle special…
