Roy Anderssonโs latest wonโt turn heads, but it is a tender, and at times, world-weary look at the fallibility of human beings as they eke out a despairing existence.
It has its great moments, but Andersson’s โLiving’ trilogy closes on a lacklustre and disappointing note.
The second instalment of Andersson’s absurdist โLiving’ trilogy is a gentler but no less incisive take on the beauty and doldrums of human existence.
This wholly inventive and constantly surprising first film of Anderssonโs โLivingโ trilogy is one of the finest contemporary examples of absurdist cinema.
Thereโs enough humour and โ70s romantic schmaltz in Anderssonโs first feature to make it a pleasing slice-of-life experience.
