There are some pieces of art that are easy to understand what they are. For example the painting 'The Last Supper' by Leonardo Da Vinci. That's a pretty straightforward picture. Then you have something like a cubist paining by Pablo Picasso such as 'The Three Dancers' In a painting like that, you see the parts, but you don't quite know exactly what's going on or what the parts mean. That's kind of like this movie.
There is a basic story - an actress all of a sudden during a performance of a play falls mute, and she is admitted to a hospital and a nurse is charged with her care. That's the very basic premise of the story. (As in the above Picasso painting, obviously based on the title, there are three dancers in the picture.)
The story is told in kind of a...strange way. Kind of like the way the Picasso painting makes you cock your head to one side and go 'Huh?' That's kind of how the movie leaves you. It's not bad. It's actually quite artfully done and interesting.
I am glad I watched it.
One word to describe 'Persona': 'Huh?'
