You, The Living (Swedish, DVD)

Swedish director Roy Andersson explores the 'grandeur of existence', in this award-winning film consisting of fifty surreal short sketches, each filmed in one take. Filming the actors in a variety of unconventional settings with tragicomic themes, Andersson explores the humanity and common threads that link their everyday lives with empathy and charm. A visually distinctive film, its characters include a disgruntled psychiatrist, a junior school teacher with emotional issues, a heart broken groupie, and a business consultant having a bad-hair day.

Review This Product

Droll and persistently amusing

Sun, 8 Mar 2015 | Review by: Michael S.

Scandinavian humour is dry and clever and subtle. This surreal film includes magical reality elements that can be breathtaking, though set in very ordinary everyday lives. You can never guess what'll happen next, but enjoy waiting to find out. I especially love the scene with the old man taking his dog for a walk ( or a drag ) while pushing his walking frame.
