Persona (1966) – Ingmar Bergman

Persona (1966) – Ingmar Bergman [Amazon.com]

The first time an erect penis appeared in a non-pornographic film was in 1966, when Ingmar Bergman included a brief image of an erection in Persona, though the offending image was censored from all British prints of the film for over thirty years. –Matthew Hunt

Regarding Matthew Hunt’s comments, I was looking for the erect penis in this Youtube footage, but could not spot it, maybe this is the censored version. Anyone? I dislike Bergman instinctively (but have only seen maybe two or three of his films) but I liked this opening sequence. I wonder who did the music.
