Persona

Of course I fucking love this. The thing with a film like this, and the reason why it has taken me so long to watch it, is that my rating has already been predicted a century ago. It's too obvious I was going to love it, so it kinda lost the punch of surprising me with how amazing it actually is. But once I get over that, and actually process what I just watched, I find myself rambling in my head for hours about it. A film so meticulously interesting and profound that just stops me from being able to properly review it because I feel in every scenario I will miss a part of all I want to say. The way this film toys with the viewer is one of the best things I've ever seen and it has me by a chokehold. One of those films like 3 Women which I will require a second viewing before giving any kind of proper analysis. But for now I genuinely have nothing but praise to give it... Well, maybe one issue, I expected this to be gayer, but I guess it's gay enough, so whatever. 1966 really was the best year of cinema, wasn't it? huh
