Persona (1966)
7/10
If you understand this film, you are lying

Warning: Spoilers
While some viewers are confused about the ending of this film some look confident about it. Director Ingmar Bergman intentionally left it for us to interpret. May be Alma is Elizabeth's persona or Elizabeth is Alma's persona or both are personas of each other or both wre Ingmar Bergman's personas or anything you like is possible. I believe not every film need to have a meaning.

I would say this is a meaningless film. There's no rule that says a film need to have a meaning to be considered great.

There is an erotic scene without any physical nudity. Everything is conveyed through the lightning, camera and eyes of the character, but we can feel it.

The last 20 minutes of film are repetitive and makes it confusing, which I feel were not needed at all. Especially when the story was going great.

I have presented my complete review and really can't sum this up this one. This one was really hard to rate/review.
