You, the Living (2007)

Posted on 02:05 by john cena
Essential Viewing
Sweden/Germany/France/Denmark/Norway
Feature Film
Original Title: Du levande
Writer/Director: Roy Andersson
Cinematographer: Gustav Danielsson
Composer: Benny Andersson
Cast: Jessika Lundberg, Elisabeth Helander, Kemal Sener, Gunnar Ivarsson, Håkan Angser, Eric Bäckman

This painterly, blackly comic minor masterpiece from Sweden’s greatest living film-maker, a series of darkly humorous vignettes castigating man’s selfishness, is, with its eye-catching mise-en-scène and droll performances, an often hilarious, depressingly insightful, and truly unforgettable portrait of modern life’s rubishness.
