PERSONA (1966), film directed by Ingmar Bergman (in Swedish with English subtitles); music by Lars Johan Werle. NOTE: At the time this film was released, Ingmar Bergman was considered one of the greatest film directors in the world. The film is very tough on the viewer ... it's an intense psychodrama that stretches the language of cinema. But it also gives various women wonderful acting roles! A further side note: The film was adapted into an opera a number of years ago, with music by MTA's chair, Keeril Makan, directed by Theater Arts Professor Jay Scheib, conducted by MIT Music Professor Evan Ziporyn!
