Songs
from the Second Floor
dir. Roy Andersson, Sweden/France 1998
Swedish surrealist Roy Andersson's first film since 1975 is a moving,
apocalyptic, startlingly funny series of vignettes — a kind of
cross between Ingmar Bergman and Monty Python, with a soundtrack by
ABBA's Benny Andersson. Set in an unnamed European city, in a state
of chaos after some unspecified financial disaster, Songs moves from
one haunted citizen to the next. It feels like a dream, but the cultural
and political commentary very much targets our world; in one scene,
a blindfolded maiden is pushed off a cliff as a sacrifice for the
gods of commerce. - Ragtag
