About Endlessness
2019 · dir. Roy Andersson
🍅 95%6.8drama · fantasy · comedy

Common ground: dark comedy

The difference: Sits closer to fantasy than Men & Chicken does

A reflection on human life in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendor and banality, guided by a Scheherazade-esque narrator. Inconsequential moments have the same significance as historical events. Simultaneously an ode and a lament, presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of the vulnerability of existence.
