Reel 53a: Only Disconnect, pt1

In this episode Sean and Claude look at a pair of films involving people and their personalities, and how they can disassociate from themselves and each other, and manage to come back together in unusual ways.

First on the slate is Ingmar Bergman's Persona, from 1966. It stars Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullman as a nurse and her patient who have been isolated in a beach house for several weeks. By the end of the film, it's unclear who has cured whom...and of what.

In Reel 53b, we continue the episode with Performance, from 1970.
