If you loved Persona, try Shame
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Shame has roughly 9.9× fewer votes than Persona — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Ingmar Bergman, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Persona, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Shame is
You work the soil by day and play the violin by night with your spouse on a storm-lashed island, but when civil war spills into the harbor your refuge turns to ruin. Ingmar Bergman frames silence as loudly as the strings once did.
