Songs from the second floor
Roy Andersson
Sweden – 2000 – 98 min
The world looks recognizable, but as if broken inside. People move, work, talk, but the meaning constantly slips away. Individual scenes do not add up to a plot, only to a state – cold, absurd and painfully precise. The funny here is never easy. This is a film about civilization after the loss of illusions, about a person who has lost himself among rules and structures.
