Persona
《假面》（1966）

In his memoirs, legendary Swedish director Ingmar Bergman said of Persona, "I had gone as far as I could go ... I touched wordless secrets that only the cinema can discover." A minimalist production about an actress who suddenly goes mute and the nurse who cares for her in an isolated seaside cottage, Persona begins with a prelude: a projector shows several brief images, including a crucifixion, an erect penis, a cartoon, a tarantula, children in Halloween costumes, a lamb being slaughtered and, finally, an emaciated boy who wakes up in a hospital and touches a blurry image of a woman's face. The title cards feature more split-second images, including what appears to be a self-immolating monk in Vietnam. What follows is a three-act drama about identity, loss and memory, one that influenced directors from Woody Allen to David Lynch.

在其回憶錄中，瑞典傳奇導演英格曼·伯格曼這樣描述他的這部電影：“這是我能做到的極致……我觸到了只有攝影機才能發現的無法言說的秘密。”這部抽象主義的影片講述了一位突然失聲的女演員和照顧她的護士在與世隔絕的海邊別墅中的發生的故事。影片開始的畫面是這樣的：一家投影機投射出一些簡單的圖片，包括十字架、勃起的陽具、卡通人物、一只大狼蛛（一種大型蜘蛛，譯者注）、身著萬圣節服裝的孩子們、一只待宰殺的羊、一個在醫院中醒來的瘦弱男孩，以及一個女人模糊不清的面頰。影片標題出現時背景是很多轉瞬即逝的畫面，其中包括一個自殺的越南僧人的畫面。再接下來便是一個探討身份、失去和記憶的三幕劇。伍迪·艾倫和大衛·林奇都曾受到這出三幕劇的影響。
