roy andersson have manage to craft something that defy nearly all convention of what a film should be and a piece of art that be both beautiful and funny and evocative at the same time . the end result be a moving and if somewhat fractured tale about humanity in it simplest and most honest form . this be unlikely to appeal to everyone and in fact the humour be so finely tune that many be unlikely to get on it wavelength . the almost absurdly long take and awkward silence and consistent medium shot will most definitely put off even the most willing of audience . but it be within these disjoint tale and unconventional thinking that andersson shape a world where every character seem to take centre stage in their own absurd way . each scene be absorb by the desolate environment and with the character seemingly leave alone in their own oddity it a difficult piece to watch at time and not least because like many of it scene and it require patience . but whilst some may hail it upon an artistic throne and others will simply look on in confusion . it a film that blend understated humour with own brand of heart .
