You, the Living (2007)
Original title: Du levande
You, the Living is a 2007 Swedish-language drama movie directed by Roy Andersson, with a running time of 1h 29m. It stars Håkan Angser, Eric Bäckman and Patrik Anders Edgren.
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.
