StudioCanal will release on Blu-ray Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's legendary film
Persona (1966), starring Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann, Margaretha Krook, and Gunnar Björnstrand. The release will be available for purchase in France on February 25th, 2014.
Study of womanhood and identity, featuring two of Ingmar Bergman's greatest leading ladies, Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson. Elizabeth (Ullmann) is a famous actress who is taken ill and left without speech. While convalescing on the coast, she is cared for by Nurse Alma (Andersson) and, silenced by the effect of her - possibly psychosomatic - illness, finds that her nurse does the talking for both of them. Gradually, the two women's personalities merge and the boundaries between their identities begin to blur.
Note: In addition to
Persona, the French studio will also release on Blu-ray a number of other classic Bergman films, including
Wild Strawberries,
The Virgin Spring, and
The Seventh Seal.
