Outline

There is nothing quite like this film. Andersson keeps his camera static, recording just one take per scene in this haunting, peculiar and funny collection of loosely linked sketches and tableaux. A synopsis doesn't do justice to the stunning imagery in Andersson's surreal and expressionistic compositions. Try it...

Cannes 2000 Jury Prize (shared with Blackboards)

Reviews

"Manages to be compelling, amusing and unsettling at the same time. It thoroughly deserved the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes " - Michael Thomson, BBC Online

"There's a singular vision here, an immaculately skewed conception..." Tom Charity, Time Out.
