You, the Living

synopsis


Hypnotic and darkly humorous, You, The Living is a uniquely Scandinavian take on the absurdities of the human condition. Expertly shot and whimsically written, Swedish director Roy Andersson's long-awaited return to cinema traces a series of bizarre, deadpan and comic vignettes which wryly address the meaning (or lack thereof) of life. Visually striking, strangely hilarious, utterly surreal and fantastical in its execution, You, The Living is destined to become a cult classic.

"You, The Living is about the human being, about her greatness and her miserableness, her joy and her sorrow, her self-confidence and anxiety. A being at whom we want to laugh and also cry for. It is simply a tragic comedy or comic tragedy about us." Roy Andsersson, director

A uniquely Scandinavian comedy that took the festivals by storm!
