Lighthouse and Persona
Lighthouse has been a favorite for awhile but finally recently saw Persona and was blown away. Not overhyped at all, aged amazingly. I see why Eggers praises Bergman so much but it almost changes the way I see Lighthouse.
It's definitely its own thing in it being the male psyche side of things and the Greek mythology. But even the foghorn in both is so similar it's hard not to feel like Lighthouse is a bit derivative.
I still love it but I suppose it's more a testament to how good Persona is 60 years later. The lighting is insane, the abstraction, the acting, the taboo subject matter. But I'm sure this has been beat to death.
To be clear I still feel The Lighthouse and The Master are two modern masterpieces that contend with the classic 60s/70s films I love. Might be too early to tell but I believe they are.
