The most absurd of absurd comedies. What's remarkable is how it's the most deadpan, dry humour I've ever seen.
Surrealist movie with beautiful visuals. Very underrated.
I love Andersson’s absurdist expressionism. The bizarre, surreal, funny vignettes are often so philosophical.
philosophy movie for who like new story with deep conhernsive
Brilliant and original film. You'll probably love it or hate it. A chimera combining Waiting for Godot, Ingmar Bergman, and Italian Realism.
just like his other movies, a masterpiece, perfectly underlining the humour of every day's dullness
Absolutely lovely in it's unrealistically "exaggerated realism" but a little too slow and plotless for me to actually love it.
I did not know if I was supposed to laugh or to cry at times. A really good movie.
A series of surreal and memorable vignettes which are beautifully shot, hilariously dark, and at times incredibly thought provoking.
This is honestly the funniest movie over seen in years. It's clever, surreal, and beautiful.
