Songs From the Second Floor

This absurd and original comedy is from the brilliantly off-beat worldview of 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.
