Saying "Persona" is dated in a 60's way is like pointing out that "War and Peace" is set during the Napoleonic Wars...both are great works that reveal much, much more than the times they were created in.There are sections of the film that are dated, shots and editing techniques that make me smile when I see them.
But then, there is the great, great scene. The memory of sunshine and the beach and sex...
Whew! Thanks, Victor, for your comments on one of my favorite Bergman films! (After the release of "The Wild Bunch" someone told Sam Peckinpah that he was now the best filmmaker in the world. He laughed and said, "No, there's still that damned Swede.") I'm pleased to read that it is finally available in a good transfer.
