Swedish director Roy Andersson’s film is a collection of short novels and miniatures, bound like images cut from the lives of different people and displayed on the screen. They are connected to each other by the monotonous voice of a storyteller who comments on each etude of the film. His characters are ordinary people at different times, in different crisis or life situations, and in different spiritual states.
Almost all the scenes of the film are shot with a single shot of a static camera, where the viewer has time to focus on the details and perceive the director’s intentions well.
Assembled with memorable shots and existential questions, this work was named Silver Lion for Best Director at the 2019 Venice Film Festival.
