Where the Light Gets In

I went to the cinema in the evening, to see Bergman's Persona. Despite the short introductory speech given by the cinema's manager, I fear I missed something. I didn't get at all how you're supposed to see, in the relationship between the actress who's lost her voice onstage and her in-house nurse, the stripping of socials masks usually worn and the baring of the "real" being behind them. Everything remained so abstracted to me. I'll have to read up on it - I don't like to feel like I've been left high and dry.
