1/ This is a video comparing a scene from Persona and from Robert Altman’s 3 Women: https://www.facebook.com/TheFilmSnob1/videos/2143142539270258/?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBuqfwX1CkQDYPZL8xTOq5mANfQ1IxnhGOdz95j0-sHeFXsP8XOU8pQ8nV-NXM9xyJnPfTRMU1WxVWcJGJrTkjwp1CjCxM7h7mbtEZ6CHb9Nqk3ieNYvvgB7UjXrSvMOdh2SloyzWO55TaSyrHJog9H1og2v_DHOtPUAsG1Ub7gldujInEvUA&__tn__=H-R

I like that in the video, they keep Woody Allen almost entirely out of it.
