Songs From the Second Floor

Directed by Roy Andersson

The first part of a genuinely unique trilogy, Songs From The Second Floor has been described as slapstick Bergman. Set at the dawning of a new millennium, this witty and resonant film unfolds as a series of gently comic, interconnected vignettes that portray scenes from an urban world which has ground to a halt and whose citizens teeter on the brink of madness. Incredibly well-crafted, it’s a dark and delirious masterpiece of contemporary European cinema.
