A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence
Why we chose it
Hundreds of commercials made Roy Andersson rich enough to build his own studio and shoot exactly what he wanted there, and the result won the Golden Lion at Venice. He took the title from a Bruegel painting and a pigeon outside his window, and the film is very funny right up until it isn’t.
Synopsis
Sam and Jonathan go door to door through a grey Swedish city where nobody’s life is going especially well, trying to sell joke-shop novelties like vampire teeth, laughing bags and a rubber mask called Uncle One-Tooth. All around them people die mid-sentence, mid-sip and mid-sale, yet the two travelling salesmen, a modern Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, just keep knocking on the next door.
