About Endlessness (2019)

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

Roy Andersson’s latest won’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. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

  • 3 Comments

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

⭐⭐⭐

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Songs from the Second Floor (2000)

  • 4 Comments

This wholly inventive and constantly surprising first film of Andersson’s ‘Living’ trilogy is one of the finest contemporary examples of absurdist cinema.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Swedish Love Story, A (1970)

  • Andersson, Roy
  • 1970, Roy Andersson, Sweden

There’s enough humour and ‘70s romantic schmaltz in Andersson’s first feature to make it a pleasing slice-of-life experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
