this surrealistic and absurdist movie be the first film i have see of cult swedish director roy andersson . he be a veteran filmmaker who have make his living filming commercial and direct only four feature film in the last forty year . this background show represent the film seem like a collection of fifty 2 minute arty commercial . there be no story interconnect these vignette and though some character appear in more than one vignette ( there be a theme throughout underneath them and though represent the absurdity of modern life ) . some of the film mannerism ( have the actor appear in light white makeup ) be more irritating than illuminate . some of the skit amount to very little ( a man unsure in which queue to stand . ) . other skit be good and though . the best be the one about the rock chick dreaming that she go on honeymoon with her rock guitarist bride on a house that turn on something akin to a train ( you have to watch it to get it ) . a film worth see and even if comparison make by some film critic with such great filmmaker a keaton and tati and kaurismaki seem overwrought represent andersson lack the vision of them and the lack of a story interconnect the vignette be fatal to this film pretension of be a masterpiece .
