Songs from the Second Floor

Roy Andersson20001h 38mComedy, Drama

Written by Cinobo

Bergman and Tati find a common language in the former's homeland, thanks to Roy Anderson's inventive film in which the absurdity of everyday life meets the concerns of a society moving forward without a moral compass. One of the masterpieces of the 00s, first part of an informal trilogy.

Synopsis

At some unspecified time between the 1950s and today, somewhere in the northern hemisphere, things are not going well at all: A magician makes a tragic mistake and saws a man in half, a lost immigrant is beaten up in a busy street, an employee is fired after being humiliated for no apparent reason, and there's a traffic jam.
