FILM | Persona

One night, stage actress Elisabeth Volger (Liv Ullmann) suddenly stops in the middle of her performance and ceases entirely to speak thereafter. She is sent away to a country cottage, where she is tended to by a garrulous nurse named Alma (Bibi Andersson). Alma quickly develops a monologue with her mute patient and slowly the two women seem to fuse into a single, indistinguishable entity. But a plot summary hardly does justice to Persona, director Ingmar Bergman’s masterwork and one of the most important films of 1960s cinema. Bergman explores the nature of communication, while tangling with threads of psychological reverie and sapphic yearning to weave an uncommon, unforgettable tapestry. Tickets $6. 7 p.m. Harvard Film Archive. (BBC)

FILM | Easy Listening

Local director Pamela Corker presents her debut feature film, a light-hearted exploration of the musical genre known, often with little fondness, as Muzak. The story centers on Burt, a trumpeter whose work is only appreciated tangentially in elevators and barbershops. He has aspirations of playing professional jazz, but is unable to come to grips with natural flair for nerdiness. A miracle arrives in the form of Linda, who admires his playing and eventually allows him to embrace his EZ listening roots. Tickets $9. 7:30 p.m. Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St., Brookline. (BBC)

MUSIC | Julian Marley

Julian Marley, son of reggae impresario Bob, tours with his Uprising Band. He is one of the many Marley’s—including Ziggy, Stephen and Damian—attempting to use his talent and family name to get some recognition in the notoriously cutthroat reggae community. In order to show “dread cred” as it’s known in reggae circles, Julian has spent years learning under Aston “Family Man” Barrett, Earl “Wire” Lindo, Tyrone Downie and Earl “Chinna” Smith. Fully formed as a talent, Julian is bringing his band to Boston. Tickets $15 advance, $17 day of show. 18+. 8p.m. The Paradise Rock Club, 969 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston. (SAW)
