You, the Living (2007) [Movie Review]

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

With an idiosyncratic visual style and a camera that almost never moves, perfectionist director Roy Andersson has masterfully crafted a decidedly unconventional and slow-paced film about the human condition in which images, details, and mood are the most important elements. The final scene is simply amazing. Strangely interesting, You, the Living is more a piece of art to be experienced than it is a movie to be understood.

Original/Swedish title: Du levande.
