Description
Hypnotic and darkly humorous, Roy Andersson's You, the living is a uniquely Scandinavian take on the absurdities of life. Expertly shot and whimsically written, You, the living traces a series of bizarre, deadpan and comic vignettes which wryly address the meaning (or lack thereof) of life. Visually striking, strangely hilarious, utterly surreal and fantastical in its execution, You, the living is sure to be an instant cult classic.
