You, The Living (Du levande)
Dir: Roy Andersson | Sweden / Germany / France / Denmark / Norway | 2007 | 94mins
A wry observer, the director Roy Andersson celebrates the absurdness of modern life with a series of vignettes that'll prompt the odd belly laugh or two. Interestingly crafted by an obvious lover of the rich tapestry of life we are treated to a host of tragic-comic characters — the obsessive tuba player, the couple who talk too much and the couple who don't talk enough, a young woman with a crush on a rock musician to name a few. This is off the wall Nordic filmmaking at its best.
