About the author

Ernst Ingmar Bergman was a nine-time Academy Award-nominated Swedish film, stage, and opera director. He depicted bleakness and despair as well as comedy and hope in his explorations of the human condition. He is recognized as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in cinematic history.

He directed 62 films, most of which he wrote, and directed over 170 plays. Some of his internationally known favorite actors were Liv Ullmann, Bibi Andersson, and Max von Sydow. Most of his films were set in the stark landscape of his native Sweden, and major themes were often bleak, dealing with death, illness, betrayal, and insanity.

Bergman was active for more than 60 years, but his career was seriously threatened in 1976 when he suspended a number of pending productions, closed his studios, and went into self-imposed exile in Germany for eight years following a botched criminal investigation for alleged income tax evasion.

Reviews

Estoy en shock todavía; mi primer acercamiento a Bergman, no he visto su cine todavía y no sabía nada sobre Persona. Tiene una fuerza desbordante. Es mucho más que un guión cinematográfico. Creo que me va a dejar un gran poso.

Bergman té una capacitat literària magnífica, el seu guió és talment literatura, no un simple diàleg i disposició de personatges. Ara bé, la grandesa de Persona està en la imatge, en l'obra mestra visual sobre dues dones que pateixen, que s'intercanvien, que es vampiritzen. És un plaer llegir aquest guió de Persona, però és un plaer millor veure els rostres de Liv Ullman i Bibi Andersson, perfil i primer plà, fusionar-se en un sol ésser.

“El arte tiene una relevancia fenomenal en la vida; en especial, para las personas que sufren dificultades de cualquier tipo.”

[Rhodas Roux · Rating 5 out of 5]

El guión de una de las mejores películas de todos los tiempos simplemente es impresionante. Palabra por palabra, detalle por detalle, dejas pasar la película por tu cabeza como la imaginó Bergman.
