You, the living – Dry northern sense of humor from Sweden
Afterhis big success „Songs from the second floor“ (original: Sången från andra våningen) a new film by Roy Andersson about the hardness of life in grey Swedish corridors and living rooms is now playing at German cinemas. „You, the living“ is a film about the daily struggle to survive every day life and about the meaning of life in general, shown in 50 scenes. Andersson shots all scenes but one in his own studio in Stockholm, so that he could create his picturesque every day life scenes in detail. The result is a bizarre comedy about all aspects of human coexistence which you can see in German cinemas from the 20th of March, 2008. http://www.royandersson.com/dulevande/
