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.

在其回忆录中，瑞典传奇导演英格曼·伯格曼这样描述他的这部电影：“这是我能做到的极致……我触到了只有摄影机才能发现的无法言说的秘密。”这部抽象主义的影片讲述了一位突然失声的女演员和照顾她的护士在与世隔绝的海边别墅中的发生的故事。影片开始的画面是这样的：一家投影机投射出一些简单的图片，包括十字架、勃起的阳具、卡通人物、一只大狼蛛（一种大型蜘蛛，译者注）、身着万圣节服装的孩子们、一只待宰杀的羊、一个在医院中醒来的瘦弱男孩，以及一个女人模糊不清的面颊。影片标题出现时背景是很多转瞬即逝的画面，其中包括一个自杀的越南僧人的画面。再接下来便是一个探讨身份、失去和记忆的三幕剧。伍迪·艾伦和大卫·林奇都曾受到这出三幕剧的影响。
