Ebert on Persona

[sidd]

"Most of what we think of as "ourselves" is not direct experience of the world, but a mental broadcast made of ideas, memories, media input, other people, jobs, roles, duties, lusts, hopes, fears. Elizabeth chooses to be who she is' Alma is not strong enough to choose not to be Elizabeth. The title is the key. "Persona." Singular."

-Roger Ebert on Persona

Tonight was the first time I'd seen the film. Without a doubt, one of the greatest films I've ever seen.
