UK | 2018 | Jared P. Scott
Swedish auteur Roy Andersson (A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence) once again ponders the human condition—and the meaning of life—in a series of wry, mordant, impeccably art directed sketches and tableaux that span WWII to the present day. These dreamy, deadpan, painterly, mostly unrelated vignettes feature an assortment of pallid characters in a variety of ordinary and fantastical settings—from Hitler’s bunker and the mind of a tormented priest to contemporary cafes and the skies over Cologne. “Five stars (highest rating)…A masterpiece…Utterly unique…A mesmerizing odyssey to the heart of existence.” –The Guardian (UK). Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. 76 min.
