The theme of the double in Ingmar Bergman’s most famous film. An actress becomes mute for unknown reasons and seeks solace by the sea, in the company of a nurse. A relationship of mutual dependence develops between the two women. With Persona, one of his most unsettling dramas, Bergman also revolutionises the language of cinema.
