...country cottage, where she is tended to by a garrulous nurse named Alma (Bibi Andersson). Alma quickly develops a monologue with her mute patient and slowly the two women seem to fuse into a single, indistinguishable entity. But a plot summary hardly does justice to Persona, director Ingmar Bergman’s masterwork and one of the most important films of 1960s cinema. Bergman explores the nature of communication, while tangling with threads of psychological reverie and sapphic yearning to weave an uncommon, unforgettable tapestry. Tickets $6. 7 p.m. Harvard Film Archive...
...Sydow, alighting from the Ingmar Bergman films, certainly brings height and hauteur to the role - and if you're going for the Renaissance masters' vision of Jesus as a European, he might as well be Nordic.

Though her one Hollywood film, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, was a flop, she shone as a soulful socialist in Alain Resnais's La Guerre Est Finie and as a Nazi-era matriarch in Luchino Visconti's The Damned...
...rise," says its director, Adrian Noble. "That's an extraordinary strain and amazing challenge for an actor like Ralph." And the ethereal Richardson, Tony Award-winner and daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, essays another marathon role in The Lady from the Sea at the Almeida. (The fourth Ibsen play, Ingmar Bergman's production of Ghosts, had a brief London run at the Barbican in May.) None of these plays is easy for performer or audience, especially the rarely done Brand and The Lady From the Sea. But their success doesn't surprise the Almeida's artistic director, Michael Attenborough. "People have...
...earthworks,” organic creations positioned in a fashion and location that leaves them vulnerable to the elements. Works of stone, ice and wood are placed on land or in the sea in such a way that they are beaten into uselessness or oblivion. Sounds like an Ingmar Bergman PBS documentary.
