Influenced by Ingmar Bergman’s “Persona”

2 comments
In that W magazine video about Lara’s Stone editorial, the narrator mentioned that part of the inspiration for that shoot was Ingmar Bergman. He also went on to say that Lara resembled Bergman’s leading ladies, Liv Ullman and Bibi Andersson. Well here are those to leading ladies and I must say the resemblance is quite uncanny.

The movie deals with an actress who suddenly stops speaking in the middle of a stage performance. By doctor’s orders, she goes to rehabilitate at a cottage by the sea where she is taken care of by this nurse. The two women are isolated and they soon develop a strange relationship where they switch personalities and start to mirror each other.

That's so weird because I was just looking at this editorial last night. It's one of my favorites.
