About Endlessness (2019)

  • Andersson, Roy
  • 2019, Roy Andersson, Sweden
  • Leave a comment

Roy Anderssonโ€™s latest wonโ€™t 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.

Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence, A (2014)

  • Andersson, Roy

  • 3 Comments

It has its great moments, but Andersson’s โ€˜Living’ trilogy closes on a lacklustre and disappointing note.

You, the Living (2007)

  • Andersson, Roy
  • 2007, Roy Andersson, Sweden
  • 4 Comments

The second instalment of Andersson’s absurdist โ€˜Living’ trilogy is a gentler but no less incisive take on the beauty and doldrums of human existence.

Songs from the Second Floor (2000)

  • Andersson, Roy
  • 2000, Roy Andersson, Sweden
  • 4 Comments

This wholly inventive and constantly surprising first film of Anderssonโ€™s โ€˜Livingโ€™ trilogy is one of the finest contemporary examples of absurdist cinema.

Swedish Love Story, A (1970)

  • Andersson, Roy
  • 1970, Roy Andersson, Sweden
  • Leave a comment

Thereโ€™s enough humour and โ€˜70s romantic schmaltz in Anderssonโ€™s first feature to make it a pleasing slice-of-life experience.
