CLOSING NIGHT FILM
A young nurse and her patient, an actress who has mysteriously gone mute, retreat to a seaside cottage to aid the actress's rehabilitation, but the intimacy embroils them in a stranger, stronger bond.
Curator’s note: Persona Non Grata closes with what is typically considered Bergman’s finest film, and one that pushes the cinematic art form to its brink. Persona’s mesmerising effect is compounded by Sven Nykvist’s legendary black and white photography, the stellar use of shadow and silhouette brilliantly suggestive of the two protagonist’s identities and how they interact.
With Film Talk hosted by director Jake Mahaffy following the May 19th screening.
