Songs from the Second Floor 15

Roy Andersson’s Songs from the Second Floor explores the existential isolation of human beings observed in late capitalism. It looks to explore the absurdities of modern life. The movies sits at a unique conjunction between Ingmar Bergman’s fatalism seen in The Seventh Seal, Gary Larson’s surrealism observed in The Far Side, and the absurd humour of the Monty Python movies. From the director of last year's critically acclaimed A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence.
