Bergman Island, a little marvel, indeed
I think I'll do a re-watch of Persona soon. Not that I think they're similar, but I suspect that if there were riffs I missed it was on Persona. Plus, Persona is just truly great and deserves revisiting

What is it about that stuck with you? I think I just appreciated that it told kind of a small story about feelings and emotions, not great drama and destruction, but did it in a playful, cinematic way

That was interesting. Incredible the strength and artistic depth of German movies at this time, considering WW2 was just a few years away.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Godspeed, good Farmer. I watched it like 12 years ago, but can’t remember if I split it up.
