DOX and the Ponrepo Cinema invite you to a series of summer movie nights under the stars and in the universe of David Lynch with Persona.

The screening will be introduced by Marie Barešová, curator of the National Film Archive.

After famous actress Elizabeth Vogler (Liv Ullmann) goes mute and apparently has a breakdown, she is sent to a beach house where she is accompanied only by a nurse named Alma (Bibi Andersson). As Alma attempts to get through to her patient over the subsequent weeks, the two develop a strange emotional bond. A fascination with Ingmar Bergman is undeniable among a particular generation of American directors, and Lynch himself was no exception.

Persona has a unique ability to communicate with the viewer’s subjective mind as if it were a feature-length Rorschach test associatively referencing key works of world culture from the late nineteenth century to the present, from Ibsen, Pirandello, and Vertov to Bergman’s contemporaries to all that we lovingly refer to as “Lynchian” – meaning films full of doppelgangers, repressed sexual tension, and the schizophrenic nature of the acting profession.

Sweden, 1966 / 83 min.
