You, the Living (2007)

2007 · 93 min · Drama, Comedy, Music

In the Swedish city of Lethe, people from different walks of life take part in a series of short, deadpan vignettes that rush past. Some are just seconds long, none longer than a couple of minutes. A young woman remembers a fantasy honeymoon with a rock guitarist. A man awakes from a dream about bomber planes. A businessman boasts about success while being robbed by a pickpocket, and so on. The absurdist collection is accompanied by Dixieland jazz and similar music.

Directed by Roy Andersson. Starring Håkan Angser, Eric Bäckman, Patrik Anders Edgren, Björn Englund and Lennart Eriksson.
