Reflecting on the human experience.

In theaters and VOD, April 30.

In Roy Andersson’s latest, a man gets the cold shoulder from a childhood acquaintan­ce he’d forgotten he was unkind to, a spontaneou­s dance party erupts outside a café, and a defeated army marches into a prison camp. The connection­s between these sequences are indirect but profound—they give a sense of grandeur to the most mundane of struggles while finding the terrible absurdity in acts of human cruelty.
