"Digitally restored in 2011 by Svensk Filmindustri, Persona looks very beautiful in high-definition. Indeed, the important close-ups repeatedly impress with outstanding depth. At times definition is so dramatically improved that one can literally see pores and facial hair that are simply missing on the R1 DVD release of the film.The panoramic shots also boast outstanding fluidity (see screencapture #5). Contrast and sharpness levels remain consistent throughout the entire film. The blacks and whites are exceptionally well balanced and there is a tremendous range of nuanced grays (see screencapture #16). Viewers with large screens or projectors will be especially pleased with these substantial improvements since now it is incredibly easy to appreciate the unique use of light and shadow and Sven Nykvist's careful framing. Furthermore, there are absolutely no traces of problematic degraining corrections. Also, compromising sharpening adjustments have not been applied. Dirt, noise, debris, and stains have been removed as best as possible. (Only in the very beginning of the film, during the short sequence where Alma enters the room and introduces herself, I noticed some extremely light grain pulsations, but the effect never becomes distracting). Finally, there are no serious stability issues to report in this review. All in all, this is yet another very strong restoration of a classic Bergman film that should make its fans enormously happy. "
