    The first Roy Anderson I watched, Nordic-style cold humor, staged performances with fixed camera positions and long shots (it seems that only a few places have moved), and bar scenes that constantly change angles. The beginning is very fresh and then a little boring, but fortunately, the moving house and the sky plane make people reverie, and those who are content are always happy. Beijing Film Festival...

    "Be content, living man, in that warm and comfortable bed, before the icy winds of the Lethe lash your fleeing feet." Cold tones, cold faces, cold plots, cold humor. Northern Europe is so...

    Many passages are very moving, such as the wedding in the dream, such as singing in the bathtub. Just like "Silence of the Birds" and "Singing from the Second Floor", the pursuit of composition in the whole film is almost extreme. Every frame is very painterly, and if you pause for a moment, it looks like Edward Hope. Roy Anderson is literally a painter among...

    Actually tmd appeared luck! move! mirror! head! can you believe it? ! This is Roy Anderson! What a surprise! ; "Rejoice, you are still alive and lying on a warm and comfortable bed"; in the middle of the trial, a beer is brought in, "Then go to the electric chair~", it is too much; "Spending so much time on treatment, trying to make It's pointless to be happy one after another, it's pointless, it can't be done, I don't do that anymore, now I just prescribe medicine, the more the better, that's...

    The point is not about the story, but about the feeling. Of course you want something transcendent, but you are still familiar with the hints, the context, or you will suddenly be enlightened. However, there is nothing wrong with this now, because life is like this, and it may be impatient to watch it if it is a little ridiculous. Like stagnant water, dull pain, about to or already exuding a rancid...

You, the Living quotes

  • Mia: Serving non-alcoholic beer with food that smells so good. It's torture!

    Uffe's mother.: I only want what's best for you.

    Mia: Best! Is this what's best for me? Enduring this damned existance... with all the shit and deceit and wickedness and staying sober? How can you expect or even want a single poor bugger to put up with it without being drunk? It's inhuman. Only a sadist would demand that.

  • The psychiatrist: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

    [examines the large stack of patient's files]

    The psychiatrist: I am a psychiatrist. I have been for 27 years. I'm completely worn out. Year after year, listening to patients who aren't satisfied with their lives, who want to have fun, who want me to help them with that - it wears you out, I can tell you. My life isn't exactly a lot of fun either. People demand so much. That's the conclusion I've drawn after all these years. They demand to be happy, at the same time as they are egocentric, selfish, and ungenerous. Well, I would like to be honest. I would like to say that they are quite simply mean, most of them. Spending hour after hour in therapy, trying to make a mean person happy... There's no point. You can't do it. I've stopped doing it. These days, I just prescribe pills. The stronger, the better.
