This kind of film is indeed a good description of living conditions in Sweden, Foucault also said, He got his writing habit in a slow country like Sweden...I think Sweden is a place to settle down and do something that takes time.
The director is very particular about the camera, the placement of the characters, the plot tension between the main and secondary characters, the symbolic meaning of the dialogue... I think he is a very careful and rigorous director. If you don't watch the movie, just read the script, it should be a very interesting novel.
It's a pity that I still don't have a cold for slow-paced things, and I still can't escape the fate of sleepiness. But my friend watched it from start to finish. There really is no comparison.
It is worth studying his shots. In "Second Floor", the shots of a scene hardly change from any angle, a bit like the realm of "one shot is a perfect painting" pursued by Takeshi Kitano. In "You're Alive", the shots are a little more fluid, not so dead, and more playful.
It seems that in his films, he pays more attention to the lives of middle-aged and elderly people. The old women in it are portrayed as superficial, funny, full of sexual desire, or nagging and complaining... I think this is his own He should have a deep experience in his life... It can be seen that he is an old man with infinite vitality, an old man who is tired of the unchanging life, and an old man who has not stopped exploring and thinking. An old man who gets angry at his wife's constant sexual demands. Overall, lovely old man. This gives his films a sense of humor and worldliness that art theatre lacks - which resonates more with ordinary people.
