"Everything has its day." Poised between the death of the 20th century and the birth of the 21st. The further we get from it, the more I marvel at how this walks the fine line between parody and prophecy

The scene on the train with the other passengers singing around him is quite something.

I've never seen such a remarkably bitter, angry, scathing, and sarcastic film since I can remember. I can't believe I went so long without knowing this film exists!

Roy Andersson displays the most beautifull deccay of human soul lost in a society that heads towards it's apocalyptic end

An important director. The attention to detail and composition is jaw dropping.

I really don't have any words to describe how much I love this film. Well OK, I have two: Hälsa Göring!!!

This movie really understands the human condition in today's society. Black humor is nicely mixed with sadness and despair. Definitely deserves a second viewing since each frame packs more than could be observed the first time around.

A great film. Although the religious counter-positioning toward the end is unabashedly present, the rest of the film triumphs in a glorious stew of ambiguity, surrealism, and quirky human banalities---this all set to washed out, tired-looking pastel imagery, often framed with purposeful aloofness and compositional oddities. It amounts to moments of humor among moments of sad frustration directed indiscriminately.

Interesting comment, David. Roy Andersson is very famous in Sweden for making many, and great, commercials.

The most original dystopian art you'll see in your lifetime. The absolute BEST of the millennium.

Surrealistic society criticism? Post-apocalyptic black comedy? However you describe it, it's one of the most idiosyncratic films in recent years. A director with a unique style.

This is not a film... this is art. Pop the disc in your player, put your feet up and let the images slowly absorb you. Or even better, go and see it at the cinema (preferable alone), if you can.
