    Fifty-five plays. There is only one exterior view. One shot at a time. The lens is never stationary, and it is mostly shot from the front. It can be said that it is the closest movie to theatrical stage. Use Brecht's Distancing effect multiple times. Extremely simple and abstract space. The lives of people of different classes in the city. Humorous but laughable and heart-wrenching. There is no communication between the characters, but they speak to themselves. Ununderstood loneliness,...

    The form is minimalist, with a fixed panoramic long lens and an indoor diagonal angle of view. Only two orbital lenses are used, which creates a stage-like scheduling method as a whole, but the camera position is against the audience, and the audience is replaced by the indoor perspective. Breaking the fourth wall does not destroy the style and look of the film. The pale makeup in Roy Anderson's movies in the past has a special reaction in this film. Previously, the Nordic architectural style...

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.
