"Persona:" Freud made a

career (okay, I'm simplifying a bit) out of studying middle-aged, disaffected, neurotic, Viennese bourgeois women.
This movie closely studies the innermost psychic recesses of a Swedish grande dame of the theater, though cleverly it really is a baring of the soul of her nurse who begins to lose her personality into that of her patient, I guess?
Anyhow, it's all very clever and it does have one of the most fascinating, sexually charged scenes in all of film history (not a bared limb in sight, either), and the photography and montage are brilliant... but I found I didn't care very much.
The troubles of the privileged seem so self-indulgent that, frankly, I don't give a damn.
