When the creative spark has been stomped out and you need to quickly find the motivation to keep on going. It's been exactly 10 years since I watched Bergman's "Persona" for the first time, and like the mysterious, sometimes subliminal images that open the film, my subconscious keeps it at the forefront, not as a whole coherent film though, but as bits and pieces. One day the spider is on my mind, another it's the broken glass outside the cottage, and one day the revealing monologues will be rattling through my brain. "Persona" is an unforgettable experience, whether you're watching it for the first or 50th time.
