Second Bergman. Different from the seriousness and heaviness of the religious theme of Winter Light, the plot of this film is designed to be more fluid and full. But the resemblance is the horrific suffocation, hysterical absurdity and madness that permeates Berkshire's films, like sick art. And the common feeling after reading it: It is difficult to say that I understand it. The combination of chaotic and abstract scenes at the beginning and the middle has a great impact on the retina and eardrums. Presumably out of the need to quickly pull people into the context and atmosphere of the film. It may be influenced by the beautiful mind, from the beginning to the end I feel that this movie is a person's split personality. Silent Elizabeth is perfect, because she is a work of art in itself, to be admired, and must be perfect, and all her actions and thoughts cannot be narrated in the thoughts of mortals. Therefore, when the ugliness in her character radiates, she can no longer live in the form she once was. In the film, her way of life is also perfect, she can be silent, but still lively and lively. The film gives me a very artistic feeling, but it is not the usual film art, but more like a finely crafted sculpture, with a soul before a shell. The feeling of real and fantasy in the movie has also permeated the movie itself, giving people a dream-like feeling. It is said that tragedy is to tear up beautiful things for others to see. This movie shows the distorted feelings of people when they face their hidden ugliness. And the movie magnifies this feeling with a lot of details, so that everyone watching the movie can feel the pain through the screen. Also, people with mental illness are really not suitable for watching movies that involve mental illness.

Persona quotes

  • Sister Alma: When you sleep, your face goes slack - and your mouth is swollen and ugly. There's a nasty wrinkle on your forehead. You smell of sleep and tears - and I can see the pulse in your neck. There's a scar there that you cover with makeup.

  • Sister Alma: He's calling again. I'll find out what he wants from us - far away out here in our solitude.
