roy anderssons du levande be not totally original a it be counter piece to anderssons previous movie sånger från andra våningen . still the movie have aura of total originality . some convention of movie making be still throw away represent most of the actor look nothing like what you would expect in movie and the shot take long time . most of the time camera doesn not move but people move around it . the shot start from somewhere and many time the scenery build up in amazing proportion . w. g. sebald come to mind in literature with same technique . because of the time invest in every shot the suspension be really high in many of the scene . there be a story and isn not it be leave for viewer to build up in his or her own mind . this movie be positive . it be determine not to see this all in negative way and at the same time will not pass the social injustice . one of the message i get from it be that maybe all failure and accident be not fatal after all . great movie .
