Found a still from Bergman’s Persona and promptly put it up as one of my rotating wallpaper images. This was one of the first mind blowing films I ever saw and it had quite an impact on me. The still is part of the “dream sequence” where liv Ulman is running her hands through Bibi Andersons’s hair. It is a weird mix of eroticism and creepiness. This was the first scene in which I picked up on the vampirism theme running through the film. No, not literal vampirism, but a symbolic one, of one person feeding off of another. It’s an intense film, and odds are you won’t be able to follow it completely with a single viewing, but it’s worth the effort.
