Seven years after his surreal Songs from the Second Floor, Roy Andersson’s new film is significantly toned down, yet retains the director’s trademark flair and subtle irony. Selecting the absurdity of daily life as his theme, Andersson brings together a series of aesthetically ethereal vignettes to construct a mosaic of situations that seems to reflect the fundamental contradictions of human existence. A film on ?human existence, its grandeur and baseness, its joy and sorrow, its confidence and anxiety. An existence that makes us both laugh and weep. It is just a tragic comedy or a comic tragedy about ourselves?. The film premiered at the Un Certain Regard Section at Cannes.
