A man builds an artificial intelligence by uploading a digital copy of his own mind—think Ultron, but homemade. The AI suddenly becomes self-aware, only to find itself trapped in the endless digital void of the web, forced to survive as an eternal, god-like entity in cyberspace. Its only real threat? A flickering power outage that could pull the plug on its forever.

More About This Film

Persona is the 1966 Swedish psychological drama directed by Ingmar Bergman, which received renewed theatrical screenings in 2026 for its 60th anniversary. The film follows stage actress Elisabet Vogler, who has stopped speaking, and nurse Alma, who is assigned to care for her at an isolated seaside home.

Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson give the two central performances in a film that gradually destabilizes the boundary between their identities. Sven Nykvist's stark black-and-white cinematography and Bergman's fragmented visual language helped make Persona one of the defining works of European modernist cinema.
