Persona is an entirely different kind of film from Bergman. Both of those are much more approachable, particularly Fanny and Alexander. Originally, I was actually going to recommend The Seventh Seal, which is also one of my favorite films, but at some point I decided that Persona is really the one that I would call a "must-see."
The Seventh Seal is really wonderful though, so I'd say you probably should see it sometime. (To summarize it in a sentence, a knight returning from the Crusades meets Death along the way home -- and challenges it to a game of chess with his life as the wager. Philosophy ensues. I lied, that was two sentences.)
All generalizations are false, including this one.
