不知名的灰暗城市,經濟崩潰,街道塞滿動彈不得的車輛,面目蒼白的小人物神情呆滯地在鏡頭前展現所有荒謬、可悲與殘酷。洛伊安德森暫別影壇二十五年、重新復出之後,轟動國際的代表作。冷酷黯淡的美學風格與荒謬諷刺的世界觀,一景一鏡皆如精雕細琢的超現實畫作。千禧年推出的本片,如今看來更像是永不過時的警世寓言。
An ill wind blows through the restless city – an immigrant is brutally attacked, a loyal clerk is fired in a demeaning manner, and a magician fails to perform one of his easiest tricks. In the midst of devastation, a man named Karl sets fire to his furniture store, with the intent to commit insurance fraud….

1970年從瑞典電影學院畢業後,隨即推出叫好叫座的《瑞典愛情故事》,大獲成功,一舉成為瑞典影壇最受矚目的新銳。隔了五年,他推出新作《旅店怪咖》,大膽嘗試新風格,但評論與票房皆不討好,使得他暫別影壇將近二十五年。後轉進廣告界,盡情揮灑影像創意。終於在2000年推出《二樓傳來的歌聲》,驚豔國際,獲得坎城影展評審團大獎。他的作品,場景幾乎全為室內搭景,且鏡頭固定不動,一鏡一景的拍攝手法也讓他在電腦特效當道的年代中,更成為獨一無二的風格家。每部電影皆費時費力精雕細琢,從影近四十年拍了約五百部廣告,卻只推出四部電影長片,目前正在拍攝最新長片。
Fresh out of Swedish film institute, Roy Andersson (1943, Sweden) becomes a major success with A Swedish Love Story in 1970. After five years, he returned with Gilliap, a film considered to be a financial and critical failure. He then turned to television commercials, where he found both popular recognition and creative freedom. In 2000, Andersson returned with his third feature, Songs from the Second Floor, which won the Jury Prize at Cannes. More than any other, this film succeeded in cementing his personal style-a style characterized by long takes, absurdist comedy, stiff caricaturing of Swedish culture and Felliniesque grotesque. His latest film is You, the Living from 2007.
