Songs From The Second Floor (2000)
Sweden

This unique comedy shows the brilliant and off-beat worldview of Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson who won The Golden Lion in Venice 2014 (See DISCOVERY). Described by critic J. Hoberman as slapstick Ingmar Bergman, the film unfolds as a series of comic inter-connected vignettes which portray scenes from an urban world that has ground to a halt and whose citizens teeter on the brink of madness. They all go somewhere but their goal and its meaning have disappeared along the way.
