Who am I? Actress and dancer comsumed by their roles. Identity confusion. Body horror. They've got it all. They're at different ends of the melodrama scale, and I'll pick the lower key Persona.

I found both brilliant. Right now, the fact I've seen "Black Swan" in a theater gives it the edge. Unfair? Maybe, but there it is.

Persona is quite a bit more subtle and intricate. I loved Black Swan, but the conflict is more akin to Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls.

I didn't much enjoy either film...Black Swan is the better movie, I suppose.

Man, we sure are in disagreement a lot, Caesar! I think Black Swan is one of the best films of its year, but Persona far outshines it
