With the release of his sixth feature film, ABOUT ENDLESSNESS (back in UK cinemas while they're open!), we're grazing on the filmography of one of the most singular filmmakers of our time: Roy Andersson.
It's a deep dive, encompassing his first two features (A SWEDISH LOVE STORY (1970) and GILIAP (1975)), his seminal work in advertising, his short films (SOMETHING HAPPENED (1987) and WORLD OF GLORY (1991)), and his stunning 'Living Trilogy' - SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR (2000), YOU, THE LIVING (2007) and A PIGEON SAT ON A BRANCH REFLECTING ON EXISTENCE (2014).
We also look at Fred Scott's recently-released documentary portrait of the life and works of Andersson, BEING A HUMAN PERSON.
Featuring covers from the films' soundtracks.
Apologies for the tech issues around the hour mark.
