Widely recognised as one of Ingmar Bergman's most extraordinary and influential films, Persona is a rich and poetic study of womanhood and identity, featuring two of the Swedish master's greatest leading ladies, Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson.

Elizabeth (Ullmann) is a famous actress who is suddenly taken ill and left without speech. While convalescing on the coast, she is cared for by Nurse Alma (Andersson) and, silenced by the effect of her - possibly psychosomatic - illness, finds that her nurse does the talking for both of them. Gradually, the two women's personalities merge and the boundaries between their identities begin to blur. This fully uncut version of the landmark film is a visual tour-de-force (as photographed by Sven Nkyvist) and remains as innovative and startling today as it was in 1966.
