You, the Living (2007)
Directed by Roy Andersson

Comedy / Drama / Music
aka: Du levande

Film Synopsis

The tormented lives of a group of very different individuals represents the qualities that make man what he is - his greatness, his misery, his sadness and happiness, his confidence in himself and his anxieties.  It is a tragicomedy, one that will make us laugh, and also make up cry.  Such is the lot of man.
