"Director: Roy Andersson"

• You the Living | DVD | (14/07/2008) from £7.99   |  Saving you £12.00 (150.19%)   |  RRP £19.99

  One of the funniest and most original films of the year this absurd and surreal comedy from acclaimed director Roy Andersson takes an amusing left-of-centre look at a delightfully eccentric assortment of characters. Through a series of brilliantly entertaining sketches Andersson observes with empathy and wry humour the highs lows and tragicomic happenings that affect their everyday lives. Shot with highly distinctive visual flair this unique and universally resonant snapshot of modern life is both touching and laugh-outloud hilarious.

• A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting Upon Existence | DVD | (13/07/2015) from £10.09   |  Saving you £5.90 (58.47%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Following Songs from the Second Floor and You, the Living, Roy Anderson's award-winning film (Best Film, Venice 2014) forms the third part of a loose trilogy about life, death and what it means to be a human being. Sam and Jonathan are two travelling salesmen peddling novelty items mostly unsuccessfully. Like modern-day Don Quixote and Sancho, they take us on a kaleidoscopic journey through multiple human destinies. It is a trip that shows us beauty in one moment, pettiness in another and the humour and tragedy within us all. One that evokes the grandeur of life as well as the ultimate frailty of humanity. By turns tragic, absurd, meditative and hilarious his work has drawn comparisons with Samuel Beckett, Monty Python, Ingmar Bergman and Laurel & Hardy, but in truth is utterly unique. Pulling together all the various strands of his previous films into a cohesive, resolved whole, A Pigeon is the culmination of one of modern cinema's greatest talents and is nothing short of a masterpiece.

• Songs from the Second Floor | DVD | (14/03/2011) from £9.69   |  Saving you £6.30 (65.02%)   |  RRP £15.99

  This absurd and original comedy is from the brilliantly offbeat worldview of acclaimed Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson director of the acclaimed You the Living. Described by critic J. Hoberman as 'slapstick Ingmar Bergman' the film unfolds as a series of comic inter-connected vignettes which portray scenes from an urban world that has ground to a halt and whose citizens teeter on the brink of madness.

• A Swedish Love Story | DVD | (14/03/2011) from £8.95   |  Saving you £7.04 (78.66%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Two adolescents meet and cautiously fall in love at the peak of an idyllic Swedish summer. Oblivious to social boundaries they innocently create their own milieu in contrast to the distorted relationships and disillusionment of the adult world around them. Beautifully shot by 'Elvira Madigan' cinematographer Jrgen Persson Roy Andersson's debut feature drew favourable comparisons with the work of the great Ingmar Bergman.
