I don't know if its appropriate to judge a film-maker's quintessential style from bits and pieces, especially someone like Bergman, whose films can go in the course of the narrative from quiet introspection to mind-rending emotional torment. Having seen several Bergman films completely, I would also hesitate to consider Persona quintessential. IMO Films like, say, those of the Faith trilogy and Seventh Seal are different from Persona, Hour of The Wolf etc.
