Hoah, boy.

Well. That was a, um, short movie...

It's gonna take me awhile to figure out what the hell happened. Probably a couple of years... hopefully sooner.

I mean.

Damn...

I'm assuming they are talking about THIS but I've never heard of it

Nope.

Not that one at all. I mean the one by Ingmar Bergman, made in 19...66?

Oh - I saw that one listed, as well, but figured you must be referring to something more recent since you just saw it...

This one instead, then

Anyway, I was unclear last night as it was very late and I'd just seen a rather mindbending movie. So, let me try again, okay?

Last night I watched Ingmar Bergman's Persona and it was pretty... different. I've liked Bergman's movies for quite awhile now, and this one is pretty intense.

It seems simple, about a woman who has stopped speaking or moving and the nurse who is assigned to care for her, but it ends up getting into rather mind-bending territory pretty quickly.

And... I just gave a rather large understatement there. That's like saying Serial Experiments Lain is a bit odd- real understatement.

Movie itself? Actually good.
